Over the years I did have 1 set of A008s that had 3mm runout. Can't remember what I did, maybe got replaced.
I had the same problem with Avon 13" steel radials on my Fiat 124 once too.

The A008 cases are very well made, I had a pair on mine for 20 years, then I gave them to Aaron for his khana car... :)


Doc...reputations die at the drop of a hat these days, especially when stuff is 3rd world out-sourced etc...just saying!...Cheers, Mick

I don't know.... rattle can of gloss black, packet of steel wool, some cutting compound ...maybe $20 all up?

Cheers, Ian

Although, I had it a bit easier. Mate made up a rig consisting of a rear trailing arm, a fan belt, an old fridge motor and a wooden base to hold it together. Turned fast enough to polish but slow enough so you didn't have to constantly worry about sticking your fingers in the spokes...

I think I’ll have to do that, bit strapped at the moment. Problem is the casting is so rough I won’t get a smooth gloss finish, but at least it will be black. I’ll just have to do hand job on the rim and get as shiny as I can that way.

I've had a new set of 008's sitting around for 6 months.
I'll have to fit them to some wheels and spin them on the balancer to ensure they are okay!
