We assume the valve stem is the heavy spot of the wheel and suggest people match the valve stem (heavy spot of the wheel) to the yellow dot (light spot of the tire). Since the valve stem assumption isn't necessarily correct, when I put new tires on my own car, I mount the bare wheel on the balance machine and find the actual heavy spot, then match it to the yellow spot of the tire.

Yellow dots (from what I remember) is the light spot of the tire and usually gets lined up with the valve stem. Red dots also indicate the high spot of the tire and is the point of wear. I don't know if there is a standard amongst manufacturers tho. To do it right have the tires force matched.

Yea, it is from JT Designs and is available from them or ECIS. I don't have the URLs but you should be able to do a search. Costs about $160.

Might there be a metal one in BMWs catalog?? i'm not sure if the part number is right (i might check on it later) but the LTWs came with an aluminum tray, with plastic uprights riveted on, that he might be referring to. the LTW tray is a bit shorter to clear the splitter, as it sits above it towards the front. i don't think this would be a good option on an M3 though, as it's probably not as sturdy as the plastic one even. made to be light. rich 95 M3 95 LTW > From: "JUSTIN GERRY" <JGERRY@butchers.com> > Reply-To: "JUSTIN GERRY" <JGERRY@butchers.com> > Date: Wed, 14 Aug 2002 11:11:50 -0500 > To: E36M3 <e36m3@bmw-m.net> > Subject: [E36M3] E36 Undertray...
