    I would say expect just a steel rim to turn up to swap tyres it depends where you get it done

    I had some rims stripped and tyres swapped late last year and it cost £7.50 per wheel, go to a back street tyre shop as most of the high street chains wont fit tyres that they didnt supply

    So this morning I cleaned the wheel and went for a second opinion at a tyre shop before finalising the order.

    Low and behold a couple of guys at the shop told me that the tyre is not leaking and it is OK to keep the wheel as a spare one!

    Lesson learnt - always get a second opinion. Better late than never though, it did save me time and money. :T

    Thanks for all the inputs, the breaker website is a little jewel - just don't call the 070 numbers.:money:
