lol what's wrong with my maths? lol initially they were going to charge me 450 for each wheel and i need to get 3 wheels done ie 1,350, but since everyone is saying i should get all 4 wheels done, they've quoted me 1500 for all 4 wheels, and hence 350 each....and yes i realise i'm actually spending 150 more in monetary terms, but i'm now getting 4 wheels done as oppose to 3. What's wrong with that

I was quoted between 500-1000 in Dubai for a rim for the FJ ( mine was so bad it wasn't even round anymore). Anyway, 200dh in sharjah. Lovely.

you needed a calculator for that? I thought you were the regional finance lass? Speaking of which - can you PM me a contact name and number for the logistics person?

BRAINS, i cannot do anything without my trusted calculator :P
will message you details of our logistics guru....but i have to tell ya....the company we currently use (Pentagon) is dictated to by our UK head office....they are our world wide supplier used a crossed all the companies within our Group of companies, and we cannot change even if we wanted too....because all major suppliers have to go through a rigorous vetting process by our UK head office (due to compliance red tape).
