Default Havant to South Bucks - 4 wheels to move!

Hello folks,
Can anyone who is travelling regularly/conveniently help me relocate a set of 4 winter wheels from near Havant/Portsmouth to South Bucks?
They're for my other car and have 205/50 R17 tyres on so not huge but not small either!

Obviously I'm very happy to meet up anywhere mutually convenient and compensate appropriately; it's just a bit far for me to justify (or find the time for) a 150-mile round trip.

2016 Volvo V40 T5 Cross Country (4WD) with ALL the toys including adaptive cruise etc. etc. Osmium Grey with Blonde/Charcoal leather interior. Polestar performance "optimisation". (A much rarer model than a D2 S8 by the way!) Oh, and a brand new engine at just under 30,000 miles on the factory one!
Finally: gone, but not forgotten.....
1998 D2 PF S8. AgateGrey/Platinum. Every option (I think) except electric rear seats, tiptronic steering wheel, ski hatch, towbar & dimming door mirrors.
e.g. Cruise control, NavPlus/TV, Bose, GSM, Xenons, Solar roof, Parking sensors, Alcantara/leather everywhere of course. (internal dimming mirror added later)
1998 (very early) Ford Focus 1.8 Zetec; ABS/TCS, Heated screen/mirrors, Aircon, Auto-dim mirror, Leather, Trip computer, Cruise control, OEM Ford SatNav with CD changer.
And before that a lot of Rover 800s, a few oddities, a lovely Triumph Dolomite 1850HL with Overdrive and way back in my schooldays an Austin Seven aka Mini 850!

Are they available for daytime pickup (around midday)? I'm collecting my A8 from LMK near Portsmouth tomorrow, heading back to Reading area.

Thanks very much for the offer, but sadly I don't think so and I'm not quite ready to confirm purchase yet as there's a query over whether the size will actually suit the car!

No problem, I'll probably be back down there at some point in the New Year as the SL is due an oil change.
