Armandos and Cam lam haven’t had any for months. I did message Tino but his response made no sense
Does anyone know of a stockist, or does anyone have a good condition silver one they are happy to sell?

I seem to recall that VE-UK were also going to be an official stockist for these rims? (Although a quick search on their website doesn't show any listed).

They were a pleasure to build with mypol tubes.
They are built up to drop on a bike but in silver they dont match anything i have on the road. Gonna pop them on SX to try them out.
I was impressed with match of the halves etc

So, it was you who bought up the entire UK stock
Are the Tino ones the same as the MEC? Who knows, probably.
As LTH have a couple of other items that I can’t see online in the UK, I’ll probably bite the import tax bullet and buy from Germany

As long as you don’t go over £135 on the value then import and handling fees shouldn’t be an issue
I bought the last of the super light rims from camlam, mighty impressed with them

I’ve stopped ordering from them and only use SIP

Yes, it will have been SCK. I presume that there must be a business reason for this, perhaps that the onus is on the customer to sort everything out, not them. Brexit eh
