Note : 72 spoke wire wheels are new and true. Balance done on the newest
Hunter balancing machine.
Pardon me for asking but who determined "true". I put new wires on my TR6
and in spite of three trips to the owner described "mac daddy" of Hunter
balancing machines it was never right. This machine was so high tech it
served
coffee. The problem is that they are balancing the wheels from a point on the
wheel that is not the bearing surface when the wheel is mounted on the car,
and without knowing anything more I will tell you they do not have the proper
mount for wire wheels. No tire shop does.
This is the voice of experience talking. Do not invest another dollar in
this shimmy issue without packing them up and sending them off to Hendrix Wire
Wheel. There are others, I happened to use Hendrix (NFI). This is not
cheap, call them and ask. However, I will tell you this. In the long run you
will spend far more than Hendrix charges chasing this problem around, and will
not get it solved. Do not be tempted by the tire stores who tell you they can
do this. I have tried and every one failed.
