If its through jensen then thers an extra £45+ postage to add on! (looked at them recently!)
if you add them to your basket it calculates the shipping, $85ish i think it was?

I have em and they've taken more abuse than my Hope/DT 4.2d with far less dings. I'd highly recommend them - but I got them cheapish.

how heavy are you? For not much more money than the eastons, these are mega light weight:-

I have a set. Not had any problems in mud or wet, but I haven't found them that robust. Nothing too serious but the rear has buckled slightly and I'm not sure when it happened. I keep them for race only use now. I'm only 11 stone too!

I have a pair 2nd hand and recently serviced by Extra. Yours posted for £165 if you are interested?

I have found them to be fine (11.5 stone) they run well and are very light. I am selling them as I bought some new forks that have 20mm bolt through and they are redundant now, as both wheels always have to match!

I bought some thinking they were cheap (I'm 14 stone) but turned out to be a nightmare. Impossible to replace spokes in any sensible way, very little support in the UK. Pretty much in the bin now, put me off mega light wheels in a big way.

That said when they worked they were blooming marvellous, so quick!
