Default Who fits Grp A Inserts into Alloys?

I've finally managed to buy a spare Old Skool 5 Spoke Compomotive with the right offset and width but it doesn't have the grp a steel inserst fitted.
Does anyone who does these and how much they are to fit?
Cheers Rich

Compmotive do it i think, had to get 4 put in an odd wheel on one of my old nails and im sure it was them that did the work, about £80 if memory is right......... could be wrong though

but i know they sell the inserts seperatly for defanite, just make sure you order the right ones

I reckon Compomotive would be your best bet,especially where you are in the Country .
Most engineering firms wont retro fit these,too much hassle and not enough money in it in my experience .

I thought the wheel needed machining to accept the insert?
