I’ve taken my wire wheels to be balanced and they were way out, up to 70 grammes per edge in and out with the old weights on. On the machine they were wobbling as if they were not on straight. Back on the car and the ride is just as bad as before. Should I buy a Smoothright Cone set at £100 for the once every five years I will need it and assume it’s that and go back to the same balance place, or dive straight in and find someone in the south east of France who can adjust wire wheels? They now have half a pound of lead on both faces.

I have already taken the steering damper blades off and replaced them with the bearing kit and fitted a hydraulic damper, much better but still not as good as I’ve driven.
