    I have a really nice set of Borrani wire wheels on a 1960s Italian GT, so I'm pretty protective of them, but I need to swap tires. Pirellis with tubes. Any recommendations in the Toledo area. I hesitate to just go anywhere randomly. Anyone done the same? TIA

    Hi. Are your Borranis bolt on or spline drive? I ask because modern tire balancing equipment is not compatible with spline drive wheels.

    This company makes a clever adaptor to allow proper fitting to the machine. (No affiliation, although I have bought other items from them) Hope that is helpful.

    Best regards.
    Mark.
