Yep, Paisley Freight. Looking at around £30 - £40 for a set of four, depending on size and whether they have tyres on or not.
I used them recently for my Style 42's on the 530d, and they arrived on time and without issue.
Easily booked online too.

Course if it all goes wrong, which with Paisley is pretty frequent, you'll never get any recompense off them and good luck tracking them down.

I've used Paisley Freight for 4 sets of wheels recently and all went smoothly.
I've also used alloywheelcourier who are a bit more expensive but also had no issues with them.

APC great service and franchised local depots so they care about good service... I worked in the industry for 25 years, glad I don't anymore!! But I would APC above all the others, don't use uk mail poor and they lose lots of goods hope this helps. Danny

Don't use TNT
I had an octagon shaped 5 series bonnet delivery by them a year or so ago and they were very unhelpful.
It was obviously ruined so I did let the driver carry it on his own all the way to the front door before telling him to turn back around with it
When we had a business we would not allow TNT to deliver anything to us as most of the time the package would be damaged.

Use parcelforce through the "send it now" website.
you could also use "directcouriersolutions" as they use mainly reputable third party couriers to do the work and *used to be* pretty cheap.

Have a look on p4d, Interparcel, Parcel3go
Enter the item dimensions and see what comes up
You should probably assume all items are insured but wrap accordingly
