I've been told that most tyre rims on vans are not balanced, is this correct. Went & checked all four rims on my new van & yep - not balanced. Should they be? Does it make any difference if they are not balanced or it's nothing to worry about?

What appeals to me is the 10 foot MG "Little Sports" as it suits the 2.5 litre pretend SUV that I have. As this will be a ne...
