Not a private plate but used to see a red astra estate around Eltham way P45 UGO spaced out as P45 U GO

Yep, totally naked and watch the wheel as it rotates.... It really is that easy
Great! Thanks!
Just got to extract them from the back of the garage now!
Will book an appointment with you when they are ready for tyres etc..... Oh and when payday arrives!

Your local tyre centre can do this for you.... Just have them mount the rim (no tyre) on the balancer then look for vertical and lateral movement in particular the inner dish.
The actual measured values on the balancer of the rim will also suggest problems if the compensation is more than 10 grams.
Great, thanks Tony.
I take it that with the tyre removed all of the weights should be removed as well? Thanks!

I think Tony's laser guided robotic wheel massaging machine would be up to the job! Shame you're not closer.
Well the plan is to get a decent set of wheels refurbed then get Tony to fit some new tyres and do a full geometry set up.....
Will have to find someone local to check the wheels I guess.

Quick question....
I have a set of used alloys (bought them as spares for my car) that I am thinking about getting refurbished. I want to check that they are true, unbuckled and generally good wheels before I go to the expense of having them refurbished (If any aren't then i'll swap them onto the car and send a good set away).
Where and how could I get this check done? Can any decent tyre centre do it or is there a more scientific method?
I'm in Solihull, West Midlands if anyone knows a place....
Many thanks.

Bringing my car up to WIM next month to have new front shocks and springs fitted as the rear had the same treatment a month or so ago and I would like to have matching suspension front and rear age and wear wise (feels a bit soft on the front now compared to the rear).
I'm struggling to find a decent branded set of doplinks (may as well fit new ones of those as well) and don't fancy using the unbranded eBay items , can't find anyone who supplies FAI or simillar. Genuine GM ones are silly money.
Any pointers greatfully received!
Car is a 2003 Vauxhall Omega Elite.
Many thanks
