Considering how your tyres are brand new, I think it has more to do with the manufacturing consistency of the alloy rim itself. I have seen brand new wheels, straight out of factory packaging, that shows a jump or a wobble on the balancing machine. Without any tyres mounted.

But those rims are quite light at 5 kgs!

Dear Sharath - I have been waiting patiently for many months for your comment that the cooling issue is now sorted out. I am happy to read it. So - for the benefit of all, here is what my teachers taught me and which is etched in my mind for life - THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY TO DO A JOB AND THAT IS THE CORRECT WAY.

It is proved now.

By the way, I cannot open the photographs of the alloy wheels on your car (some note about "nonsecure items" appears). Can you please do something about it?

Best regards,

Behram Dhabhar

Recently sighted a Jeep around Chandigarh, 'apparently' done up with alloys low slung fat look. Looked like a Dabwali product to me.

Behram, problem must be with your office firewall blocking photographs. See this thread from your home PC.
