Changing wheels

[KillBill]

I picked up a 95 Cav today, that I was gonna see about fixing and keeping for myself... but due to it becoming a smoking heap with 9 million faults on the way home, I'll be scrapping it.

However, it has some nice standard Vauxhall alloys on it, which could do with a tidy up, before going on my Astra.
This is going to sound like a stupid question no doubt, but I've never swapped a set of wheels before. Anyway, when taking the wheels off the Cav, I noticed balancing weights on a couple of them. Will I need to get the wheels rebalanced when they go on the Astra ? or risk uneven tyre wear etc ?

Also, one of the little screws that holds the centre cap cover on is missing... anyone know where I can get another ?

Cheers

Definitely get them balanced as you don't know the history of them, also balancing will show up any buckles or probs. Any decent place should use stick on weights rather than whack em into the edges of the alloys
Sorry don't know about the screw.........maybe take one of the others off and see if it's standard type or special for the caps?
