Looking for someone in the San Fernando or Santa Clarita valleys who can mount tires onto wires and then properly balance. My Milestars are getting slim of tread! Last guy I went to did what he could but he had no wire wheel-specific mounting hardware for the balancer.
 
It seems like I remember someone explaining how to use an old hub to make an adapter for balancing machines. Anyone else remember who that was?
 
Find an old shop with a bubble balancer. Thats what I've done and am threatening to buy one. JC Whitney has them and I imagine Harbor Freight as well. I mount all my tube type tires anyway so I might as well be able to balance them.

I had Valley Wire Wheel service in Van Nuys do mine for me. They also did the wheels on our old XJ-6 with great success, we mounted tubeless tires with no trouble. He does the wheels for the Peterson and the Mullen museums too. Call Mike at 818-785-7237
