If I try to do a 2-plane or dynamic balance, I get very large weights, like 4 to 5 ounces that are to be added.  If I do a single plane, static balance, then I get reasonable weights to add like a couple of ounces at most.  I think that unless the wire wheel has been recently trued very accurately this is going to be the result.  The wheels have large run out compared to alloy wheels.  What have others who have tried to balance wire wheels come up with?  I got lucky with my balancer and could just use one of the cones and the large “T-nut” which mated up with the OD of the spline tube perfectly.  Tim Murphy
