The cars had a bad vibration for at least the last couple of years, which i suspected/hoped it was one of the wheels buckled. Took them down to south west wheel repairs, and all 4 were buckled 1 by 2.5 cm!!!
They have done an amazing job in straightening and painting them and now the car drives so much better, thought you would only notice at high speed but at 60-70 it is now so smooth with absolutely no vibration at all. So really pleased, but just wondering how long they will last?

Surly some one can re-manufacture spiders wheels in the correct offset and in a higher quality? Has anyone ever looked into this?

Cheers

Very good news.bounce

Glad to hear it is sorted by now and you are enjoying driving again.
Another proof that they have to be driven.
Otherwise our loved spiders get flat from standing.

lol, i think it was our crap roads down here in devon causing the flat spots, luckily they have finally started repairing them!
You know we would love to make the 3 nations and visit our favorite crazy austrians smile
Maybe i suggest a nice quite weeks holiday earlier in the year first?
Do you think we could convince Colin/Jenni Udo or Woki to join us on a road trip???
PS if you need somewhere to stay while your having the 5 litre rebuild you know who to call spin
