I'm trying to save up for some slicks and wheels.. I heard today that you do not need to high speed balance them because they move around a lot on the rim and also lose material so quickly that its pointless.
Thoughts?

WinterSucks said:I was thinking of tacking small aluminum blocks. I am figuring the wheels can't get that much out of balance to need lead since they are machined/forged to be identical.
If your tires have an Aspect ratio of 65 or below, we do not list these tire types as we classify them as "low-profile". Low profile tires often need lateral balance correction that can only be rectified with the use of standard wheel weights applied to both the inside and outside rim.
In this case, we recommend a "Maintenance Amount".
