Split rims balancing?

[lightweight]

As the title suggests, I'm trying to find somewhere that will balance split rims - between us we have a WC51 and a Jeep, both of which develop steering wobble at 40-45mph.

 

Need somewhere in the SE Kent area.

 

Many thanks.

There is a place behind Delting show ground, the Aerodome Trading Esate, not sure what they are called, I've taken the Daf their before.

Aren't split rims balanced in the same way as any other wheel :confused:

We can balance split rims, bit far away from you though.

So what's the difference in balancing split rims then :confused:

None, as long as the balance machine has the adaptors, just the same as balancing "normal" wheels.

Normal car tyres places take one look at the size and go white. A Dodge tyre and rim weigh about 120 Lbs weight. My local Hi Q do commercial vehicles and have always been a great help though I've found the addition of the odd packet of biccies to the bill, helps. :-D there is a place just by Sevenoaks Station do them.

I had been told that normal tyre places wouldn't touch the jeep wheels (because they're split rims) - perhaps I should have asked first!

Most places are wary in case something goes wrong. Good old H&S and if don't work sue!
