   we do it at our place, very far for you though, pain in the arse when they come in aswell cause you have to change the arm on the machine to take the wheels through the studs, not the centers... silly shitroen wheels.

   Anywhere. They just put an adapter on the machine. Any tyre place should have this.

   trust citreon to make piss poor wheels haha, when i popped my tyre when i was in the lakes, they had no part worns (just to get me home) so had to pay £40 for this piss poor tyre after looking through 5 garages just to get 1 tyre, then none of them could balance them. they were all going on about them being dead sizes my vtr wheel have just been a curse since i got them haha
