I'm looking to purchase 4 tow eyes similiar to these but was wondering if anyone has them for less than $45.00 each? I did some searches but basically came up empty. I don't want the flat steel style I want round threaded like the ones in the link.

stainless is going to cost you, as is an FIA rating.
But this looks similar.
There's about 30 pages of eyebolts at McMaster so this is only a starting point.

But a 2" ID eye and 6" shank in galvanized, with a 10,000 lb working range looks to be about $36 each. Like I said - it's a starting point...

Eyebolt Page at McMaster

(also be aware - that link you showed is in NZ$ and at today's exchange rate $45NZ is about $30US. That's the good news. The bad news is that shipping from NZ is gonna cost the Earth. Maybe there's a US distributor of OMP -- like OG Racing or Stable Energies or Summit or Pegasus or Racer's Wholesale or -- hey - this is your research project - not mine...)
