<p>One major thing to keep in mind when having someone balance your
wheels or shave your tires is how they are mounted on their
machine. Wire wheels must be mounted on the machined surfaces not
just with internal cones as a company that does not normally
balance wire wheels would do. It won't do any good to shave the
tires from the wrong center.<br>
</p>
<p>So a specialist who understands British wire wheels is essential
to having the job done properly. Besides Hendrix there is K &
T Vintage Sports Cars in Bethlehem, PA owned by Ken Beck, an
Austin-Healey owner. Check their website at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.ktvintagecars.com/">http://www.ktvintagecars.com/</a> for a video of the tire shaving
process. I have some new tires for my MG wire wheels that I will
have them mount and balance, and shave if required. I know Ken,
but never had any work done by him. Others have great things to
say about the process and their work in general.</p>
<p>I had my drums balanced several years ago by the local NAPA
machine shop who do my engine rebuild machining.<br>

<div dir="ltr">Another satisfied customer of Hendrix Wire Wheels.
Mounted and balanced my Dayton wheels, shaved the Michelin's and
balanced the rear drums. Had it up to 104 mph on our speed run
last summer (It's got a V8 but the rest of the suspension is
stock Healey) and was smooth all the way up. Drives at 2,000
rpm at 70 mph with its five speed and it's just a joy. Time for
new tires this year and they are going back to Hendrix for the
treatment. Probably the most satisfying money you can spend on
a Healey.

<div>Ditto on both of my Bt7 and Bj8. Remarkable
difference after Hendrix Wire Wheel in Greensboro NC
got a hold of them. I think he can shave tires also.
