I'm in no great rush, I'd rather be riding the bike now it seems to be sorted, the wheels can wait until the weather turns shite, which'll probably be next weekend! The front one is the worst, probably needs doing sooner rather than later, but it'll just have to wait.

£40 a wheel two pack - "brilliant white" not ross white or whatever its called, but good enough I think.

Guy I work with in Stockton has a mate who works as a painter for the RAF or something, I'll bring the wheels up in the winter when I'm visiting the factory and get them back a few days later.

Sounds a lot better than £240 plus VAT!!!!!
