I wasn't aware they needed to be balanced, isn't it just done when you put the tyres on? I've re-built split rims in the past and haven't balanced them, never had any problems.

I don't want to put the wheels back to the refurbisher in Carnoustie as I have lost all faith in them. £525 for a refurbished set of wheels which are returned apparently bucked, not in the correct colour and with only 3 wheels balanced (incorrectly) isn't ideal.

Personally I'd be heading straight back there - eithr for them to rectify or to give me my hard-earned back if they can't!

I understand now. If you think the bolts weren't torqued up correctly, get a torque wrench on them and check.

I've used them before on one of my previous cars.

I live two minutes along the road from the place but just got my current ones done by Lepsons, go figure.
