Yes that is what I was charged. So they are not cheap but not a lot of other options around. Tony is a good bloke and service was good.

Can't be 100% sure but that's what they told me at Melbourne showroom. Tony seems very genuine person but can't be definite.

The rears are 5 inch backspace and in the pic above are wearing 235/60/15 mickey thompson ET street radials. I now have 275/50/15 ET streets on the same rim. They dont rub but I am cheating as the car is tubbed to the rail.
Regards.

Cheers Macka, i can recall having communication issues when i had them made it took over 6 months and that was more than 6 years ago!! I've never seen your wheels in the 'flesh' but the bigger cut-outs make them look a little more like sprintmasters, still get's the thumbs up from me!!!

It would appear the longbeach customs are now as dead as the dodo. Shame really, as I wouldn've liked a least a couple of sets.

A shame as it seems there is plenty of business for them, perhaps someone will by the moulds & start producing them again????

Somebody needs to actually get hold of longbeach to buy the tooling first. Which has long been a problem.
