right i hope sum 1 from here can give me sum suggestions. ive got a set of bk racing alloy wheels (alpina replicas) but they have two brands of tyres on. one brand on the front and 1 on the rear.theyre all the same size and have all been balanced.however one set work loads better on the front and the other on the rear, but when theyre there the back feel like they arent ballanced properly. however when the back wheels are on the front theyre fine... anyone got any ideas, or suggestions as iv run out!!!

Sounds like one set hasnt been balanced properly, or maybe one of your wheels is a little buckled? What tyres have you got fitted? (comedy tyres ie - darkhorse/ nankang can sometimes be a bit uneven and difficult to balance.)

yeah sounds like one/more of your wheels is buckled/unbalenced but tbh the bk alpina reps there was a bad bunch of wheels about at least this is what was told to me by a bk dealer when i had problems with mine i sold them in the end and got some 17 azev's and my car instantly drove mint

hmmm that doesnt sound good... do you know how i could find out if my wheels are bad???they were ok wiv a set of old tyre on and only since they changed them has it b ecome apparent... suppose i could just put them back on the front as its not noticeable when theyre on there...
