o/t peugeot cyclone alloy wheel balancing

[graham_walters]

ok heres a weird one for you all, does anyone work in a garage that can balance cyclone alloys off an 306?

the dont have a centre cap, just a solid centre so have to be balanced using the bolt holes!

local kwik fit cant do it and pug in folkestone want £15 per wheel and cant do them for a couple of weeks

any ideas?

cheers

Well I'm far from your area so wouldn't know where to go but have had problems with these in the past. Its a real pain.

£15 a wheel is a rip off though as it doesn't require any extra time to do. They just fit a hub to the machine and mount the wheel on it. So they either have the tool or don't so I would refuse to pay over the odds for it.

I had to get 4 tyres taken off a set of rims and onto a set of cyclones then balanced up with new valves and paid £30 for a specialist up here in Glasgow to do it. Wasn't a bad deal. Try phoning all the wheel dealers in the area or even powder coaters as a last resort.

I find if you say you can get it done cheaper elsewhere some will drop their price to get the busines if they are quiet.
