Hi there people , just a quick question which is if i get a new set of alloys & wheels for my min can i fit them myself or do i need to get them all balanced by a garage !?!

If you are buying new the best bet is to buy as a package ( wheel and tyre already fitted ) should be cheeper.If not then yes they will have to be fitted and balanced at tyre place.

Yeh thats what i want to get is a wheel and tyre package where they are already fitted, so can just take off old 1's and put new 1's straight one ;D!!!

Cheers Jim lol!!

Would also advise getting a wheel and tyre package which as you say is ready to roll .
Have tried getting tyres locally as I am in the motor trade and I cannot get them as cheap as advertised in the mags . Mainly because Mini sizes are not a large volume seller . The mini specialists buy loads of mini tyres at once and can sell them cheaper .

Would like to point out that there have been some probs with one of the larger wheel suppliers . Wont mention them here , so would suggest speaking to me or some of the others at a club meet about that .

What Midland Wheels?

So I've heard, but i've done well with the last two sets of wheels I've recieved.

Folk have had problems but were they resolved well, I think that is the problem - their after sale service.

Cheers Dave & Si ;D will bare that in mind when i come around to getting myself a new set!!

Not long now till i will be on the road with my min, start 2 come on more club events and the monthly meet .
