Personally I'm not a fan of anything from Halfords at all.
Granted, they probably do some good stuff but in my experience it can be hit and miss and prices aren't very good either.
I've got Forge and Silverline sockets, no complaints.
I'd choose the Sealy but everybody has their own preferences, likes and dislikes.

Yes, just mentioning that the Sealey is also available via Halfords website (but sold through Toolsave). Might just be an option for someone if DT sell out or put the price up Thumbs Up

I just bought the Sealy 27mm plastic shroud socket from Demon Tweeks via EBay.
£9.72 all in, 2nd class post as it's not urgent.

Wrap duct/gaffa/race tape around your socket...works a treat.

Wheels look great but hate white writing on the side walls ...best kept for tonka trucks

Cheers

I don't like the huge tyres look either, prefer regular 235s.

Any update fumiyasu?

Just a little pointer with regards to the sleeved sockets make sure you hold the plastic sleeve to allow the internal metal socket to turn within the Sleeve thus no marks at all on ya wheel

RE balancing any centre that does vans will have the correct centring cone Thumbs Up
