£52.50

What does this mean in US $? How much is shipping to SF Bay area? I might
be interested in buying a set for my S2 even though I won't need them until
next spring. Also, if I buy 5 will the spare fit in the trunk (boot) where
my current spare is snuggled in?

62 S2 future V-6 or Rotary (I STILL can't decide!)

                Subject: Superlite UK

                RESENDING THIS DUE TO LACK OF RESPONSE. This is the last
time I'll
                send this out, so if anyone's interested this is the last
chance to buy
                Superlites at wholesale. Without a minimum purchase of 40
wheels the
                deal falls through.

                All,
                  here is the latest information that I've been able to
obtain
                regarding our group purchase of Superlite wheels. There is
still time
                to join in on the purchase if anyone is still interested.
We are also
                still waiting to get prices from Performance Industries,
Australia.
                The following prices are from Superlite UK, who now
manufacture the
                most popular sizes, the rest come from Australia. Since the
exchange
                rate is so high with the UK ($1.60 per £1), I think it'd be
best if we
                could purchase directly from Performance Australia. We'll
wait and see
                what prices Paul Heuer is able to come up with.
                  Below are the wholesale prices (unfortunately they did not
give me
                prices for all sizes they sell) including the cost of
shipping and
                excluding the 2% customs duty. Below that is the
application chart
                they sent me. Just FYI, if we were to purchase 200 wheels
there would
                be a further 10% discount, so if you know anyone else
looking for
                wheels.....

                5x12-£49.50
                6x13-£52.50
                7x13-£54.00
                They also sell 5x10, 5.5x13, 8x13, & 6x14

                This is a complete (except I left out Mitsubishi, Opel,
Peugeot and
                Vauxhall) list of applications, if you know someone (or of
another list
                that I haven't sent this to) who owns another make who might
be
                interested, forward it to them. The more we buy, the
cheaper it is.
                BTW, PCD is Pitch Circle Diameter and is the measurement of
the lug
                pattern. I do not know what the "p" stands for in the
Offset column.
                Perhaps someone can enlighten us.

                Obviously this application chart does not list every size
that will fit
                each car, only what they recommend. It also does not list
all models.
                We will have to enquire directly with Superlite on models
that don't
                appear here. We'll also have to make certain that other
sizes will fit
                our cars if you wish to go with a size that is not listed
here. E-mail
                me your needs and I will forward them to Superlite. I am
organizing
                this venture strictly out of my own desire to buy wheels at
a good
                price. I'm not going to make any money off it, so please,
only SERIOUS
                buyers reply. It is and has taken me considerable time for
me to
                answer everyone's enquiries and to correspond with Superlite
UK.
                Thanks for your consideration. I hope to have this deal
closed soon,
                so if you are interested contact me ASAP.
