   Kwik Fit should have the adaptor to balance solid centre wheels - think it's about £6 a wheel to have them done.
   
   Had my VTS ones done by them before a track day and they made a total arse of them. Need to take them back at some point.

   Never go to kwik fit unless you want to pay to make things worse than it already is - this is from personal experience.

   i wouldnt trust kwik fit to screw a valve cap on let alone balance my wheels!!
   
   the problem with solid wheels is although most places have the adaptor to fit them with most of the staff dont understand how it works.
   
   funnily enough the best place i found was the local peugeot dealer and only paid £5 a wheel
