Which wheels need balancing?

Pretty straight forward question this; ive just got a set of cav slabs and at higher speeds there is some vibration which makes me think they are slightly out of balance. Ive asked one of my m8s who works in a garage and he said only the driving wheels (front obv) need balancing and the rears dont matter. Is this true?

If your steering wheel vibrates aswell, its the front
if the steering is fine, its most likely the back,
course, others on here will probs know more than me ^_^

Fair enough. tbh its both - the steering wheel vibrates the most but the whole car seems to vibrate as well. but ive been used to steelies and big tyres so is this all round vibration just due to the lowrr profile boots?

Get all 4 done as out of balance wheels will eat bearings and probably do some other damage as well.
