I always used a simple bubble balancer that allowed centering of the wheel with a spring loaded apparatus. Always worked perfectly for me, even on the race cars. Here's one for $57.95!<br>

Subject: [Bmcu] wire wheel balancing<br>
<br>
Good news: I've found an adapter kit that is alleged to permit balancing of wire wheels on conventional balancing machines.<br>
<br>
Bad news: it is sold in the UK and costs 180 pounds (approx. $270) with value added tax which presumably would be waived if shipped to the US.<br>
Also, the web site cites a 4 week wait:<br>

<br>
I'm wondering if there would be enough interest for the BMCU to buy one and establish a rental program, or even a stalwart cohort of members who'd like to pitch in to buy one to share. Count me in the latter.<br>
<br>
As it happens I'm going to my favorite tire dealer this afternoon and will show it to him to see if he thinks it would work.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
