Do you guys do wheel ballancing / have a look at my car for me plz.
Tried kwikfit, ats and sum random garages and either been told:
Your alloys r fcuked
Your suspension is fcuked
We cant get it on the ram coz of your bumper
We are too busy, we dont have background knowledge of customised cars.
Background Story: Ever since i had the rims fitted, the car has had the shakes. Sumtimes its it not noticable, sumtimes its bad, usually over 40MPH.
But today i driving to manchester, and stearing jus went really bad. Over 40MPH its hardly driveable. Now it was fine last nite.
You guys are one of the few places i can think of who wont try to fob me off with excuses about it being because of the kit etc, just after a straight fwd explination whats wrong. if the rims r screwd then ill have to buy new uns.
If you dnt read by the morning ill pop down anyway 
Thx in advance

yeah fella, will have a slight buckle, but not an obvious one when your looking at the wheel. when they put it on the balancing machine, watch carefully and it will move from side to side. some refurbing people can fix it, if its not major. doesnt sound like it is, i had same problem with my last set of wheels.
