Default Question about balancing wheels after powder coating...
I have the mags and I am going to powder coat them...and I was wondering how people balanced their wheels in a way that looked nice; meaning, I don't want to have nice black wheels with ugly adhesive wheel weights on them. Are painting the wheel weights the only way to make this look decent? Ideas?

This may be a dumb question, but I'll ask anyway since I don't know much about balancing tires. In the video the guy puts in 1 ounce of beads. How do you know how much to put in a tire? Can there be too much or not enough added when you try to balance it?

You'll find a chart on the website telling you how much to use in each tire. I think it's 1oz. in the front and 2oz. in the rear. A little too much shouldn't hurt they will just settle into place once your moving.
