Default wheel balance

what are people doing for wheel balance, is it needed? the best if have heard is the road force setup with the hunter balancer.

i have heard of a high speed balancer but never seen or located one.

i've ran the wide 5 rims with stock car tires and 16" rims with racing tires and never balanced or had any problems.

the jbl has compomotive rims and goodyears and they were balanced with weights.

In a pinch, I've run R3S05s without balancing and could not tell on the track. I did have a little vibration at a steady 60-70 mph- I would balance for the street.



Wide-5's, silicone on the header bolts, Dominator hood scoop... Hmmm, I'm starting to see the pattern...
