Where's the best and cheapest place near Dundee to get alloys fixed?

Am looking at going from silver to white on S spokes. Haven't got a set yet though.

also has anyone used compatible alloys like this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/17-BMW-Mini-GP-White-Style-Alloy-Wheels-Tyres-200_W0QQitemZ350174786686QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Car Parts_Acc_Wheels_tyres_Rims_Car_Wheels_ET?hash=ite m350174786686&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A2|65%3A7|39%3A1|240%3A1318

Never used anywhere like that before.. but seriously, I'd have doubts about someone selling wheels who can't even describe them properly ;)
Maybe that's just me.. :p:D

I think I've missed something. I'm clueless when it comes to the spec of these type of things.

Yeah agree with Burple. Those are S spokes not GP wheels. I doubt if they are even genuine. I think they will be copies. £600 seems an awful lot of money even if they are new

Ah, I saw the GP part and knew that was wrong. I thought Burple was maybe talking about the spec etc... GP's are the 4 spoke black and silver things aren't they?

As for £600, I thought that was a good price for new compatible ones as BMW are charging in excess of £1000 minus tyres on their site!!! I'll just need to keep an eye out for anyone selling them.
