Yes He went as far to say it was my own fault because I did not go round the four wheels with a fitter when I arrived and when I left.

I now regret mentioning them yesterday, which was not a recomendation only that they gave a good quote, but they were the best price by far no one could match them even supply only.
But what I saved I will now have to spend on getting the wheel repaired >:(

Sorry you had problems.
Maybe contact the Owner rather than the Manager if it is not one & the same.
I would be letting '4site4x4.co.uk' know how they dealt with you.
