First of all I want to ask if the is some of the raised rim on the out side
of the brake drum, does that mean they have been balanced in the past?
Second, we have a long established shop in Los Angeles that specializes in
antique auto wheel with much experience in British wire wheels. They shave
tires and mount plus balance correctly. When I had tires installed on my
MGB GT he marked which should be in front and which in back. Smooth
running since. When the time comes the BN2 wheels will get the full
treatment there.
