Ring around starting with your closest tyre fitters and ask if they are able to balance centreless wheels. First person that says yes - visit. ________________________________________  |

Even better. Any of the many tyre places in the surrounding area will be more than able to assist you then.Unless you are specifically seeking a Bristol member who happens to be a tyre fitter checking the forums on his lunch. How desperate are you on a scale of 1-10? ________________________________________ |

for the sake of a £10 get it done by a pro that will use the proper equipment,..I can't imagine an Alloy would look too cleaver after it had it's tire ragged off in the street!  ________________________________________ Proud Member of the ASTOR Owners Club |

£10 for a 245/35/18 for a BMW, that's a proper bargain, any idea where I can get some 225/40/18's from at that rate?________________________________________ andrew315rawson@live.co.ukMoonstone phase 7 gti6 My Project thread: http://www.306gti6.com/forum/showthread.php?id=119992&page=1 |

How much would you want although if I'm honest I'd like to keep my matching set of pilot sport 3s that I've kept putting on the car since I got it nearly 5 years ago. ________________________________________ andrew315rawson@live.co.ukMoonstone phase 7 gti6 My Project thread: http://www.306gti6.com/forum/showthread.php?id=119992&page=1 |
