Could anyone give me some advise or recommend a commpany to collect some wheels for me ?

Just tried a company and they said i needed to wrap each alloy individually and weigh them so they could print a label for each one .

Brian has kindly said he will put them on a pallet for me .
Cheers .

You could give Shipley's a try. I haven't used them personally but they are a comparison site so different couriers bid for your business ( I think). Nothing lost but a little bit of time...
