    Do it yourself mate. Use a soft rubber mallet and a heat gun and take alot of time, i've done 2 cars this way now and i've never had any stress lines or fractures in the paint.

    If you buy a wheel with the correct rim width and the correct offset, put on the correct tyre size, and don't lower your car below that run on the HSVs then you will not have to worry about rubbing guards.

    with 235 profile tyres i reckon at even the height I'm at you wouldn't need to roll guards, but i put 245's on because they're cheaper for some reason.
