Thank you for that Jim.

As I am new to this it might be that I am not getting the weights in the correct location or something which is making it take more than two spins. I was assuming that as the machine finally told me the wheels were balanced after a number of spins, that I must have got things correct in the end.

It is just that some of the wheels ended up with weights a bit splattered all over the place. i.e. on wheel at the moment has weights on two locations on the outside and on three locations on the inside - but the machine repeatedly told me at the end that the wheel was balanced...

I think I will either just mount the wheels and see how they feel when driving. Or a suggestion I have had is to balance one wheel, take a picture of the weight locations. remove the weights and then take the wheel to be balanced professional and see how close they do it to the picture from my DIY effort.

But according to the instructions that came with the machine - if I balance a wheel and remove it from the machine and put it back on again it will not necessarily give the same results. This statement is something that confuses me, as I thought a wheel that is balanced is balanced whatever the case!?!
