Best place to buy Bowler alloys & tires?
Hi all,

A significant birthday is on the way and I’ve decided to treat myself to a set of Bowler wheels.

After allot of soul searching I’ve decided to go for 5 x black 16 inch Bowlers, likely with BFG AT’s. I struggled to justify the additional expense of 18 inches, but I think I’ve finally convinced myself that I’d be happy with the 16 inches (better ride quality, cheaper tires, less likely to get curbed etc).

I’m after the entire package - alloys and tires, new black locking nuts and alloy wheel bolts. I’ll likely get a suitable lock for the rear wheel carrier as well.

The question is, where’s the best place to go to buy them?

Thanks!

Depends how you define best I s'pose. Price? Delivery time? Service?

I got mine from 4x4 tyres. Price was good. Delivery time was poor. Service was OKish.

Good point - best I guess means cheapest with good service, a site sponsor offering a discount would be good! :p

I got my bowlers from 4x4tyres with 285/65 Cooper pros + plus black locking nuts, Found them the cheapest overall. Instagram @defender_ventures

I got my Bowler's direct from Bowler as they had so take off and a great price. Then got BFG's from local tyre who were as cheap fitted and balanced as anywhere.

I've also used 4x4tyres and got great service o a full package.

Don't forget photos Thumbs Up And happy birthday!! James

I'm late to the party but I got mine from AJS tyres in Reigate - not too far from you round the M25. Great service from Andy and Dean, good price, and supporting local too

Sure there was a post somewhere on here this week about bowler themselves doing a deal on 5 for the price of 4, worth trying them first surely ?? Instagram; @gavin_walding
