Re: Wheel balancing
You might get a judder at high speeds. You can always get somewhere else to balance them before you get the tyres on, it's not normally expensive.

Re: Wheel balancing
If you can get the weights, you can balance them yourself on axle stands, i've done my own in the past and never had a problem.

Re: Wheel balancing
What would be the point in balancing them without the tyres on, other than to have to do it again when you'd fitted the tyres?hciR wrote:You might get a judder at high speeds. You can always get somewhere else to balance them before you get the tyres on, it's not normally expensive.
