Be careful. Don't trust anyone who is not experienced with wire wheels to
dismount/mount tires for you. If they try to do it on a machine that does not
have the correct adapter you might end up with broken spokes. And maybe they
won't admit their responsibility and buy you new wheels...
Balancing also requires correct adapters. The best balancing job I ever got was
from an old timer who had a machine that balanced the wheel/tires on the car.
Ran the car in gear to spin the rears, he had an electric motor that spun the
fronts. I assume it balanced the entire ass'y of tire, wheel & brake drum or
rotor.
