you could try ripspeed at team valley as i got some wheels there a few years ago for a escort and they would have done it for me but the arches were a bit rough and they didnt want to risk it. i done it myself with a couple of hammers as the turbo kit covered it
hope this helps

Hi i was panel beater for years rolled loads of arches but it was very rare that they would go without the paint cracking!

If you only want to bend them up a little then just try pivoting a rubber hammer handle off your tyre and go round the arch a little at a time.

If you want them completly flat then budget for wing repaint!

Hope i could help
