Default BST Rims - Best buy?

Chaps,
Finally back in the market for a set of BST rims and just wondering where is the best deal at these days?

Im in the UK and bike HPS are usually pretty spot on, but just wondering what else is out there. The exchange rates are in my favour at the moment so your thoughts are appreciated.

Cheers

I thought about importing but decided it was too much aggro with import duty,vat,shipping and post office handling charges.

Add to that delivery time,possible damage and the aftersales back-up(if necessary) from HPS-too much trouble for me!

Hopefully,mine from HPS,will be in any day.The fact a set(albeit with discs and abs rings)sold on ebay recently for £2500 convinced me it's money well spent-it seems they certainly hold their value.

Why not get a set of OZ Cattiva Forged Magnesium Street rims...they are lighter and cheaper than BST's? Just throwing ideas out there.
