Markus, I see that your front tires are narrow (not wide). They must have short hubs. How do you keep the wheels from wobbling?

hi ned, my frontwheels are wobbeling a little bit, wenn you touch them with a finger, but while driving, there is nothing. the wheels are running straight and upright. there is no problem with shimmy or such things. they are running absolutly quiet, and my track and my cars alowes a high speedlevel. on my narrowest cars, 300sl, and 190e, i cutted the hubs completely. more importent is that the wheels are running a 100% round and equal. i had some wheels that had a difference in the high, that means the hole is not exactly in the middle, or they are not perfectly round, and the wheel is jumping up and down while running. fortunely i have enough of this frontwheels, so i can choose the good ones, or worked them over, until they are ok. cuting the wheels is the easyest way to reduce the frontaxlewide and it works in all my cars very good.
