Just an update - I took my wheels to a few places around Sydney - including one or two mentioned already... and most put me in the 'too hard basket'.

I'm tired of going to so called modification places where all they really do do is replace a part with something else - that's not modifying (well not in the true sense) it's just replacing.

Anyway I found my way to Top Tyres at Blacktown and seriously I have never encountered a more helpful bunch. They really thought about what they could do - and if a problem came up they just figured out how to solve it. I have not got my wheels back yet but I need not worry - I was left with the reassuring words "Don't worry - we will figure something out no matter what".

When was the last time anyone heard that and actually believed it?
