I have seen IMAGE WHEELS and man are they expensive or am being stupid are theses wheels always this expensive?

ebay has loads of alloys on, and sometime there are light ones too. Not normally new, but certainly cheap.

The ones as fitted in the picture are Image rims IIRC. And yes, they are expensive, but light, and very good quality...

Any 'decent' split rim is going to cost a lot more than the average alloy TBH. A lot more machining to do to construct the wheel in the first place.

HTH Stu.
