perhaps a touch more detail would help...

If that's for Jimmy Choo - sounds like a good deal.

I pay <90 per corner for 452's (fitted), and <£120 per corner for Re050s.

If you click on rich's link, you'll see Event will supply and fit 4 17" Bridgestones for around £475

17" Wheels
Bridgestone Potenza RE050 MZ (17")
F: 215/45R17 87W RE050 MZ @ 110.84
R: 245/40R17 91W RE050 MZ @ 125.81

When I click on the link, I don't get anywhere near the prices that you quote.
They appear as: £141.80 per tyre for the rears.
This is fully fitted. Any ideas where I'm going wrong?

yhpm.

Essentially give them a call, quoting the prices seen on the S2KUK site and see what they will do. those prices are on 17.5% vat, so there might be a small change.
