They are pretty readily available. Recently, the best price I found seems to be around £320 inc.vat, fitted. Check the tyre place can put these wheels on their balancer though - many places don't have the appropriate cone. and make sure they know how/can be bothered to balance a wheel properly as many places seem incapable of this.
In my view, these are a must have item on these cars, anything else just looks wrong! Long may they keep making them. (although I believe there is sort of obligation on them to keep producing, but I'm not 100% on this)

Having got the new tyres get the tracking and balancing done on the car. Do not go to the dealer but find a tyre supplier with the equipment., The dealers only take the car to one of these and add on £150 for the privilege. If this is not properly done the tyres, particularly on the front will wear unevenly and give poor life.
