Wheel balancing for Citroen c3

[mikeho]

Hi, any c3 owner here? Just wondering which tyre shop in PJ area has the adapter to do wheel balancing on the original c3 rims?

The original rim is so called centreless. It requires a non-standard 4 stud connection to the balancing machine.

Sorry, ask 3 shops already don't have. Seems the adapter is very expensive and don't have much of your type of rims to balance so they did not invest in it.....

You need to go back to Citroen service center

Look for Fei Lou

I'm unsure if they support centerless wheels like your pug but they do some of the best balancing and alignment i know.

they have wheel balancing machines, but regulars go there to get on-wheel balancing instead. They have smaller than usual mobile on-wheel balancing machines that they take to every 4 corners of the car.

I highly recommend them, good luck

Do on wheel no need take out even.....

yeah exactly, and that simple wheel balancer just isn't enough and doesn't take into account brake discs, hub etc.

I should do a quick review of the place and share it here

I was doing on wheel before but now back to off wheel because every time I need to do some repairs requiring the removal of the wheels the balancing tents to run even though I fit back to the same lugs it came out from. That is the only cons I have about on wheel balancing but they are very precise and accurate, no vibration until top speed....
