Wheel balancing

[Barraclough]

Is a shakey steering wheel at high speed a sign the wheels need balancing? It happens the second I reach 75mph

But the speed limit is 70 : yeah it's normally the balance is off

Ssshhh haha. Shall get them sorted tomorrow cheers

Finally got them balanced last week and it sorted the problem. They put the weights on the outside of the wheels opposed to how they did it on my old wheels by putting them on the inside. Can I request for them to be on the inside next time to keep them looking tidy?

Weights shouldnt be on the outside of a rim. They corrode after awile and make the rims look horrible. I would remove them asap and get stick on weights put on.

My steels have the weights on the outside but most will put them on the inside if you ask them to

[johnny]

Steelies are ment to have the weights on the outside alloys have them inside, like stance said the weight on the outside will react with an alloy

[stanc3w0rks]

Lazy tyre fitters imo. It takes abit more effort putting stick on weights as apposed to hammer ons.

[Barraclough]

They never did it on the Corsa wheels so I don't get why they did it this way on these.

[johnny]

Could have been out of sticky weights or couldn't get them to stick

If you go back and ask for stick on weights I'm sure they'll do it

[Barraclough]

Will remember for next time. Hoping for new wheels soon anyway..

A good place will always balance alloys on the inside rim only weather it's stuck on or the knock on

If it's heavy on the inside you have to balance the outside though

Lost one of the weights last week, no idea how as Iv never kerbed it. Went back today and they use the knock in weights.
