Folks, just had a new set of boots fitted on the GFs (recently purchased) car - run into an issue as the tyre fitter I use cannot balance the wheels as they are centreless (car is a Peugeot 306 HDI with the Cyclone wheels fitted that are also found on the 306 GTI-6) and as such will not fit a conventional tyre balancing machine .

I had a quick phone around this morning but the only place I could find that can balance them is a Peugeot main dealer (Cribbs), but they want £72 to do the four cornersyikes . This really does feel like a bit of a pi$$ take to be honest!

So, with that in mind can anyone recommend a decent tyre fitter in or around Bristol that can do the job!

Thanks in advance smile

About 8-9 years ago I had a Saxo VTS with the 15" speedline wheels that had no centre holes and as you say not every where can balance.

The local quick fit had an adaptor that fit on the machine to allow them to balance solid centre wheels, so it's worth asking.
