Hey All, I have a set of 4 chevy wheels that I would like to try and balance at home. I was wondering if I was to machine a 3" round piece of aluminum to fit/seat exactly inside the wheel center, wou

When I used to race SCCA in the early 70's, the Goodyear guys at the track just used a plain old bubble balancer and I really don't remember any significant balance problems ever. They'd put weight o

Hmm, how accurately can you get the string centered ? Measure how level the wheel is while it's hanging ? Last I looked, a home "bubble balancer" was only about $50; I got one for $25 at an estate s

I suspect they had very good quality race wheels and tires produced with tight quality control. I static balance the wheels on my land-speed car as well, since I have Moon discs on the outside, and h

FWIW, friend of mine who used to run a tire store still swears that skilled bubble balancing is better. Must be something to it, he sure fixed the vibration problem with my motorhome by bubble-balan

Some cars need a better wheel balance than others. My Europa shook even after the wheel and tire assemblies were "computer" balanced on modern equipment at the local tire store. This system has worke

Let me guess, were they Goodyear or one of its house brands? My friends with road force balancers have found the Goodyear and related brands horrible to road force balance. Jon

Yeah - A heavier car will tolerate more wheel jiggling than a light car. It is a matter of the ratio of sprung to unsprung weight. Unsprung weight is the weight of the wheel, tire & moving suspension

For the money and effort you will expend attempting to "make do" you could buy a good bubble balancer from someone like Harbor Freight. I'm all for doing it yourself, but on this one, I don't think i
