The only thing they did with my wheels was put them on as normal . . or is that all there has be done? :lol:

By the way, get some pics of your car up 'mysteryboy' FFS :lol: :)
I'll agree with that :lol: .

Well really if a company fits new wheels they should really check the tracking and balancing, if not I'd take it back and say sort it out.

Although you've had yours on for ages now so there's no need to worry 8)

Get some pics in the day when you can! Are you lowered on springs or coilovers?
Im on springs...

Pics are pretty dark... moody rainy day & I think the flash on the digi cam is a bit crap

When my folks had alloys fitted to their last car, the place that done it also balanced and tracked it.

Halfrauds aren't the best of places but you would expect it to be done the proper way if you're paying the cash.

Receipts mean f.u.c.k all with mechanics, so naturally I took option 2.
