I have now taken delivery of a batch of 16" city jets (rear tyres for the c5).

It has taken some effort but we got there in the end...

Not sure how many more of these I will be able to get so if you need some my advice would be don't hang about for the next lot !

I'm still trying to source some alternatives, finally found one I liked to find that it was also had to source  >:( C'est la vie !

Hi Karl,

I've still got a few here from the last batch my supplier was able to source. Once they run out I will need to search again for an alternative supplier. I found that sourcing was not the main problem , it was sourcing them at a reasonable price that was the hardest part !  I found some stockists in Holland and even a little more local here in UK but the prices were too high mainly due to the fact they are now discontinued in the 16" size. :(

That explains why I couldn't find many 16". I managed to order the last 4 16" that a dealer here had.

If I come across any more I'll let you know. Ok olé!

Hello

Are we still able to order a set from the shop?

I might get some in if they are running out.

Cheers

..at the moment , yes they are  8). If the shop side shows it in stock then the item is on the shelf ready to go  :)

But as KarlG says, they are getting scarce even in Germany - where they're made !
