In A post just a few down several members said to give kuddos to good shops. Here's my first.

Bought some average tires from Discount tires about 2 years ago when I started working on my 914. They did the average balance, not being able to do lug centric balancing. Now that I'm driving the car, the wheels bounced like a crazied government committee overseeer directing the cap on the BP leak from Washington. (that's not too political, is it? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) )

I ask Clay where to go and he sent me to Zims. www.allzim.com Now for the good news. One of the discount tires is out of round and one wheel has the inside flange out of line enough that both wheels were a bitaf8*&(&* to balance. Bob in Service said they did the best they could but these couldn't be made perfect unless they were sent off. Well they hold pretty darn good up to 70mph and that's as fast as I went on my test ride. 1010% better. They also used the proper weights inside the wheel and not those clip on bastards most shops use. Really a good ride. Great Work for Me. Shout Out to a good shop!
