Brand/price/overall size pic?
I purchased a Hoffman changer and balancer. I was drawn to the brand for a couple of reasons. First, Hoffman is owned by Snap On. You buy Snap On tire and alignment equipment, you are getting Hoffman. Secondly, I got a screaming deal on the changer as it was slightly damaged in shipment. I bought a matching balancer to go with it (which I got quite a good deal on as well). Both the changer and the balancer are not real elaborate, but given the nature of my shop (classic car and truck service) these should be more than enough to suit my needs. I have less than $7000 including the pin plates.

The pin plates, I bought from MT-RSR. They had a sale on these which brought it to $871 shipped including tax. There wont be much I cannot do as it covers about 99% of current applications.

The amount of space I have allocated to this is about 5'x9'

Hope that helps!
