Rola roof bars

Sadly , black. Didnt even know they had heavy duty ones. That will teach me to be a cheapskate !

By "couple" I gather you mean 2. I think they are rated at 50kg's for the two, a light wire roof basket will make keeping the tyre in place easier.

THEN, keep an eye out on EBAY for 3 X heavy duty, either Rola or Rhino, both have same size bar so accessories will fit both. My three are rated at 150kg - not that so much will go up there, but was handly getting 6m long decking boards home, probably close to 150kg worth as well!

Hope this helps

Thank you for the advice, its exactly what I needed to know.
I doubt that I'd put 150kg there, I've had roofracks before :((
Cheers

Just on the lock nuts things - don't know if they use the same system but on the heavy duty ones I tightened them 18 months ago, use them often, and have never had to tighten them since, vehicle has done about 50k over various roads in this time, so should be O.K.

Thanks for that. I'm a little worried that they might come off in traffic, but it sounds like its a safe system :)
