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.
