So I left the wheels and told them I would collect and pay when the wheels were again perfect.They have gone off to be powder coated in satin black as original. No profit for the shop on this deal!
Cross your fingers that the one wheel that they re-powdercoat matches the other 3. Double check that before accepting it.

I just put a set of 4S's on my V8 Vantage and they're great.

Thought I saw a picture of a tire changing machine that uses a rubber wheel to compress the tire sidewall.
This machine does not incorporate any metal arms or prys ??

Wheels are back with new Michelins and they are perfect--they re-coated all four wheels to ensure they matched. I would use this tyre shop again--they took their **** up seriously and fixed it.
