| I was quoted £30 a wheel by local good quality firm recently, although that might've been mates rates, again would mean posting unless you gut up the M4 occasionally? |

Def seems steep - tho it has been a while sinse i had any done.
Get a hold of some decent size washers mate and a nut n bolt that fits thru the hub - a washer on both sides and tighten it up through the centre so nothin gets in there - they should do it at the place but some don't give a toss, best to have it there when you drop the wheels off then there's no problem :-)
Appologies if you knew that already mate
good luck with it :-)
Ps what colur you havin, maybe the cost reflects a rare / hard to do colour? |

I paid £25 a wheel, shot blasted and powder coated in black. Local firm to us. That was a few years ago, but their prices are still very similair. Obviously you pay a bit more for different colours, but the process doesn't vary.
Had to drift all the bearings out etc first. That seems like a shockingly steep price you've been quoted mate |
