Had all four of mine done several weeks ago even though I had to take it back to get the correct size tyre valves. Just check before they do it that they have the shorter length valves  s:? :? s:?

I'd just add that you need to check both sides of the new wheel(s). I had all four of mine replaced under warranty. BUT I had two of them replaced later as the machine used to put the tyres back on scored (ripped) the alloy off back to the metal. This was worse on the inside than was immediately visible on the outside.

very true, i didn't have this prob as it was all on the outside. By the way i think you meant it ripped the paint/laquer off, the wheel is made of alloy!
