Wheel balancer - Advice required #

I know this has been done, but just to bring it up to date.

I'm going to replace the stop-gap cheapo-balancer I bought last year. Possibly going to spend up to £3-3.75K

Looking at Hoffman Megaspin 400 with hydraulic clamp from JBS; Corghi EM7340 from Apaseal or possibly Bosch WBE4415 (depending on cost) from Tech Know Services (Rob's place).

Also going to by a ECO kit because it drives me nuts when things don't work.

Any experience/ advice / recommended suppliers welcomed.

Regards,

Joe

Hello Joe
If it helps we bought a megaspin 400 recently from hofmann megaplan.

http://www.hofmann-megaplan.co.uk/

is a great bit of kit, and we were advised not to waste money on the weight wizard by them.

It does what it says on the can and is easy to use, you can also hide weights behind spokes on ally wheels, the team at hofmann are very good at their job and very keen on price, with a good backup for advice and teething problems in our case operator not machine, overall a very good buying experience

thanks.

Looked at the Megaspin and was tempted.

Bought a Bosch machine as some good deals around at the moment...and it's Bosch.

Regards.
