Not sure if they can do magnesium or not but give CJH Tyres in Havant a call, I use them for the TVR's and they are very good, and very careful with the wheels.
The boss drives a decent Porsche too so they must have some sort of care biggrin

i use mike stokes in moordown, bmth. i have 2 sets of split rims and they get looked after, i watch them fit the tyres and go over them after with the manager to check for damage. cant fault them really.

The wheel Specialist Fareham.
They refurbish wheels so know all to well how important it is to take care when refitting the tyres.
They also have machines that take the larger sizes that most fitters have issues with.

Rather than starting a new thread, thought this may get a response here.

I need to get two new tyres fitted to a car I am collecting on Friday. I have been quoted £89 per tyre fitted by CJH but can get them online delivered for £59 each. Does anyone know anywhere that can fit them on the cheap? CJH quoted £20 per tyre to fit if I supplied them so not really worth the hassle!!

Thanks Jim

Won't CJH Match the price? They usually manage to come within a few quid for me. By a few quid I mean a tenner - just saves a load of hassle.

The local protyre near me does it for £10 a wheel, got my last set of tyres off an ebay store for a lot less than I could get anywhere even after having them fitted!

To be honest I didnt ask as I didnt want to be one of those "I can get them cheaper online" people!! I think he got that impression anyway when asked about fitting only and thats why he said they would be £20 per corner!

Fair enough. Don't want to upset them, a great bunch.
