I ended up taking it to TWS Fareham. Their weld price is a fixed £70, not exactly cheap but I've seen their work and it's rather good.
I'll get a full refurb in the summer I think :)

I picked up the repaired one from the shop today and they've done a good job of returning it to shape and solving the crack. They aren't cheap though.
£70 for the repair + £12 to strip and re-fit the tyres + VAT = ~£100 a corner.

Quite an expensive endeavour so I shall be looking into other refurbishers soon. Thanks for the suggestions so far, keep them coming :)

Old vs. New.
Unfortunately there is a slight problem though, my wheel nuts are too tall to fit the centres to the ATR wheels. The centres are pretty shabby at the moment though anyway so it's not a big deal. Does anyone know of a lower profile nut that will fit and looks good? :roll:

If you're fitting the centers, does it really matter if they look jobby?

Nobody will see them :geek:
