[TR] Balancing TR6 Wheels

I don't think the basic equipment is expensive - many gas stations used to 
have on-car spin balancing setups years ago because they were cheaper.  It's 
a portable motor/roller assembly (looks kinda like a floor jack) to spin the 
non-drive wheels (the driven wheels are usually just turned by the engine) 
and a balancer that clamps into the wheel.  Not nearly as extensive as the 
off-car spin-balancers.
