Not particularly relevant, but when I bought Vreds years ago I was
told the US national manager for Vredestein was a Healey owner. I
had one of their Sprint Classic brochures and it had the front of a
red BJ8 on the cover.<br>
<br>
I have NFI--just a loyal customer--but Tom Monaco at Tom's Import
Toys is a Vredestein distributor and will generally match or beat
the 'big guys.' I got a new set of Vred 165/HR-15s--i.e. not 'low
profile' and close to original size--Sprint Classics and MVS wheels
for my BN2 mounted, balanced and shipped by Tom, which eliminated a
pretty nasty scuttle shake. I previously had what I think were the
original wheels mounted with some Nexens I bought at Walmart; I
think the Nexens were OK but hard to tell with the grossly
out-of-true wheels, and I didn't put a lot of miles on them.<br>

Other big makes can be over €400</p>
