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! Shock

    £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?

    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.
