does anyone know how much is the normal price?


Around £178 inclusive of Vat.
guess they need to be around £100 each to make it viable

Just been trawling the web and you can pick ZU's up for £120 (probably plus vat).

My ZU's on the 110 cost that 2 years ago. So if these come in around £120 I think that will be a damn good price Thumbs Up

Most manufacturers would probably be quite happy to make a very small margin on a large order especially as it would be good advertising for them.

Just got to find some KM2's for the 90 now that I dont have to remortgage the house for Big Cry

Hi Bob,

I'm not that well up on wheels, but like the aesthetics of ZUs, but what you have said above implies that the Blind-Tech is a better wheel than the Zu?.

If that is the case, in what way are they better?

The only real thing is that the blindo have a 1550Kg rating, which is more that required and is a stronger wheel so not as prone to damage from impacts when you hit something.

And don't forget some like the look o the blindo over the ZU Thumbs Up Russell

Sorry Jerseyman, my post was a bit confusing Embarassed

I was trying to do a comparison on price and not trying to imply ZU's are better than Blindo;s.

Blindo's have a heavier load rating but apart from that I think the choice is down to looks and, of course, price !
I run ZU's on my 110 and have no complaints, fancied a set of Blindo's for the 90 but if they come out too much over £120 then I shall not bother.
