Does any one know anywhere near Cheltenham/Gloucester that does this?

Thanks

The only car you should ever do this to is a Jag XJ.

Why? The wheel balancer recommended it as the wheels are spot on but there is still some wobble that matches the symptoms of an unbalanced wheel. On car balancing would balance the whole hub, disk wheel assembly

Exactly. By balancing wheels on the car that have already been dynamically balanced off the vehicle you are simply masking a further problem.

What car is iit?

I see what you mean. The car is a Ginetta G33, so it has ford hubs with sierra cosworth disks etc. Tyhe odd thing is that there is no play in the hub etc. The wheel nuts don't always look quite square, but are the nuts that were supplied by Fondmetal to Ginetta for the wheels. I have wondered about changing the wehhl nits to see if I can get better self location.

The wheel wobble is betwen 70 & 85 mph (tested on a track of course) and is not aparent at other speeds.

Tricky me thinks!
