The day it costs $200 for a mount and balance is the day I buy 2 tire bars and a bubble balancer. Nitrogen? You can buy a friggin tank of it, Jesus the stuff they think of to suck money out of your wallet.

Yeah I might have payed to much but to late. Didnt want to find out if they can break off. I also had to plug one a while back so had them put a patch on the inside. They might have seen the fancy wheels and added for that.

 

Road force balancing is good, but you can spin a tire on a rim until the wheel weight a balancer calls for is at its minimum.
Road force basically anylizes the tire and wheel that it is spinning. It will basically have you mark the rim at one spot and the tire at another given spot. Then you line the marks up and go about balancing the tire/ wheel as normal. It's great, but it also takes a bit of time.
If you don't have Discount's tire's on your ride, expect to shell out $20 a rim/ tire to get Road Forced. Though it could be well worth it for a problematic vibration.

I will look in to that next time. Thanks

 

I go through tires to often, so they get changed and balanced alot!!



JK, i have a spare set of rims i use...

Do any of yall use the stick on weights? they go on the backspacing part on the back of the rim? I used to use the hammer on the lip ones, but they kept flying off and grit would get behind them and eat the aluminum up.. So the stick one ones are nice.

 

I use hammer on weights on both sides of my 20's. It's the best kind of balance you can get.
