don't know where abouts in london you live but if you can find the A13 at dagenham call in to the tyre specialist call Elite. they will balance wheels on BM and 4 wheel lazer track it for you.

hope this helps

just out of interest, did they balance the wheels using the mounting spigot diameter in the end (and not before)?

If so this goes back to the point I made earlier, and raises the question

-are some BMW wheels machined with non-concentric inner and outer bores?

if so they won't balance up properly on most machines....

cheers

dont know about the machined wheels part, but when they balanced mine they never removed them from the car, when i picked up a nail and put my spare on the wobble returned.

Thanks Dutch,

I am near to the A13 and will check them out after the holiday break, and will update.

Thanks
