Just the rims I thought(?).
But I seem to remember farsport coming in at ~£140 a rim with postage. But that's just memory.
I'm not disputing that they're charging more for the same thing - just saying that you're getting a few benifits, which given the overall outlay actually might be worth it.
I'd still just go direct and get that sapim/novatech build I seem to recall them doing. Plus you can get a matt UD finish which (IMO) looks better than the weave.
EDIT: these 50mm at farsports are US$185 per rim... so that's £230 before postage.
Altho 2nd hand Reynolds are about £500: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/180858698502?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649&autorefresh=true#ht_712wt_932
