Britpart don't make the wheels, they are after market and the quality is very good.

I guess that your picture of a 50 pence piece refers to them being square'ish !!!!

Why would Britpart want to reinvent the wheel. Andy.

Few questions: Do you have a link to them on your site?
Do they do them in black or grey or both?
Who are the manufacturer if not britpart?

To be honest I and a few others are getting a bit sick of the lets slag Britpart off brigade. Yes there are some crap parts, but that applies to any manufacturer - you pay for what you get! Some parts in blue boxes are Genuine LR / OEM and Britpart have supplied many parts direct to LR and also the MOD. Perhaps it might be appropriate to let AJS stand behind the product and give the Sawtooths a fair chance first without making offhand derogatory comments without having even seen the wheels or any just foundation

OK, my knowledge of this is limited, but I would be careful about replica style alloys that are that cheap based on stories I have have heard from similar experiences with Boosts such as:

Cracks appearing in the spokes after only a few thousand miles.
Centre of the wheel hub shearing off in transit, leaving the rest of the wheel freewheeling down the road.
Onset of corrosion rather fast.
Buckled wheels

I am not saying these wheels will suffer any of these problems, nor do I know the circumstances of the experiences I've read about, but until they are put to a reasonable load test - say 12,000 on an expedition vehicle, on what basis do you say the quality is very good? Not trying to be rude, but nicely painted, quality often looks good! Like our outdoor chairs we have in our garden, looked great, but under the powdercoat was bare mild steel, now they look terrible! 1998 110 300Tdi White Hard Top

We will be putting these into stock and will see for ourselves from our own experience not just hear say.

We have been selling Britpart parts for many years and yes to be fair we have had the odd problem, we know from years of experience what parts to use and what parts to steer away from.

We have sold and used many of Britpart alloy wheels and "never" had a problem. Fact. Andy.
