No. Jlaa's wheels are not bent. And they are not outside of MB tolerances. I have put a dial gauge on brand-new wheels and measured runout of 0.30mm+. Expecting ALL wheels to be under 0.30mm, including used wheels, is setting the bar excessively high. To use your term, it would be virtually...

Found a vendor with the complete MB kit for "only" $900! LOL. I don't need the 84mm hub or 4-pin plate... sigh... https://proquip.solutions/haweka-hw280-400-081-mercedes-centering-kit-40mm/ Mercedes Plate : HW241e304 400 Studs : HW271 804 014 (think these are for some Smart cars?) Mercedes...

@Jlaa - have you seen the Haweka 160-400-051 collet designed for Mercedes 66.5mm hubs? Also available in different center bores (i.e., for cheap Chinese balancers like my Katool with 36mm center shaft, vs the 40mm shaft found on most name-brand USA-made balancers)...

Interesting. The tool linked above is NLA, replaced by the new design shown below in various diameters, made by Haweka. Here's the 65-67mm version: https://vw.snapon.com/SpecialToolsDetail.aspx?itemId=3060

"High performance" is a generic marketing term that is sorta meaningless IMO. Most 0W-anything oils are aimed at fuel economy, not performance, longevity, or power production. (Excluding drag-race specific, ultra low viscosity oils that are meant to survive a single quarter-mile.) 😶

Yeahbut... the reduced spread (0-40 vs 10-40) should also mean less VI's in the 10-40, so there's that. I'm not sure how much of a difference the "better" base stock makes, when comparing RL to RL. 🤓

In general, anyone complaining about oil leaks with a particular oil (Red Line, or other oil, but usually a synthetic)... the root cause is old, worn seals that needed to be replaced anyway. I've never heard of an issue with RL or other synthetic leaking past NEW seals, where a conventional oil...

10 kits at what price? And what lab will process them?

Local store is ~30 mins away, and I've not had good success with online chat as it's often automated/AI. But, I'll see what I can find out. Just wondering if anyone else had already BT/DT in recent months. :unsure:

These are OOS again. Anyone know if it's temporary, or permanent? :confused:

Bumping this thread as I just learned that the Accutrack program has been discontinued, which is a shame. I've been using them for nearly 2 decades. These were processed by ALS Labs. My Accutrack supplier told me the new program is MobilServ, but it's $500 up front for 20 kits (hopefully...
