I'd go for D44 myself, they aren't cheap but very good.

You already have your answer but you could try Craddocks. |

I've not ordered from D44 before so don't have any experience of how good they are. I do have a question over their advert for the Mach 5 alloys though:
http://www.devon4x4.com/index.php?page=sho...;Itemid=14 which lists the offset as '-10mm'. All the other websites list it at +10mm, so I assume this is a mistake on D44's behalf - '-10mm' will be too much of a push out of the arch to fit I think. I'll give them a ring and find out. Craddocks was a good shout which I had forgotten about. Unfortunately they don't do the Mach 5 (although they do the 17" Predator which I also quite like... ). Their 285/75 R16 KM2s are £174.00. |

^^^^
The Challenger' wheel offered by them which looks like a Mach 5 IMHO has a horrendous offset and are very poorly finished on both the welds and coating. Do not commit without seeing pictures of them fitted and/or seeing a set first. From an older thread..... If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!! Treat every day as if it is your last....one day you will be right!! |

You are going for the same setup as me!! Alloy Mach 5 & 285 75 16! I got the wheels from Devon 4x4 (D44) the only place with stock at the time. |

^^^Love the setup and the colour.
Just about to order some 305 KM2s for my refurbed Mach 5s. Have always been a white letter out person but I think you may have swayed me to place them innermost.

mmmm that looks awesome LandyBen! Great to see that they do actually fit before trying on the driveway...
I shall ring D44 this weekend. I just have to prevent myself buying all the other bits which they sell which i've been thinking about for a while. On the other hand it could save on postage.... |

Thanks for the comments guys!!
Devon 4x4 & Gwyn Lewis are two of the best companies I have ever dealt with. Remember you have to buy wheel nuts on top of the wheels!! More expense |

Apparently the km2s are rare in our neck of the woods. The ones that still can get hold of them price them at around 280 euros (220 pounds).
