Title: Possible wheel issue's
Post by: Uruk Hai on 26 April 2009, 14:36

I am just in the process of having the tyres refitted to the BBS RA’s that I have and plan to sale but although one of them only needed 30 grams to balance it I noticed that it appeared to have a tiny wobble while it was spinning on the balancing machine ? The bloke who did the fitting and balancing for me said it was O.K and that it wouldn’t even notice or cause a problem when fitted to the car. The wheel is one of 5 so if I can’t be used it’s not a big deal but has anyone else had this and if so has it caused a problem with the way the car drives ?

not had this on a car, but did on a bike, next time i had new tyres fitted only needed 5 grams,  wouldnt be overly concerned if it balanced up ok  :wink:

Cheers mate, I hope they'll be fine because as I said I'm selling them and wont pass on any that might turn out to be duffers but if any of them are too bad to sale I'm gonna end up just selling almost new Goodyears and 1 or more lovely wheels will go in the skip.

It will be fine, if you not sure just advise to fit it to the rear.
