  Rob, 


  I have had great luck with working with motorcycle shops. They usually have all the right size cones and adapters for the wire motorcycle wheels and they work perfect on our LBC wires.


  Cheers,

    If you balance the wheel on the car and remove the wheel for any reason you have to put it back exactly in the same position in relation to the hub.   This isn’t such a problem when there are lugs to make note of but with a center-lock wheel it is very difficult to relocate the wheel back onto the exact same position on the splines.   Find someone with on old type bubble balancer that uses a cone type thing for centering.  You can still buy one of those from Harbor Freight I think.  That was the way we always did it in the old days and never had any problems with balance.

    It is best if you can find a guy that spin balances on the car instead of bubble or spin balances off the car.  I know Russ Alignment does but they are not near  you. They are at 1915 South Redwood, 973-7439 most in the Healey Club swear by their alignment and they are reasonable.

      Good Day,
       
      Can any of you recommend an establishment that can balance wire wheels in the vicinity of the Holladay/Millcreek area.
      My local tire store doesn't have the proper equipment.
       
      Thanks for your help and time,
       
      Rob
