OK, changing out the OEM wheels on the '06 Ultra to the Harley 9 spoke. Do the new wheels have to be balanced or are they balanced from the factory. If they require balancing are there chrome weight available that work? I have seen the chrome weights at the dealership but my guys there are not sold on them. What are your suggestions?

 

They will need to be balanced after the tires are installed,and yes they do have chrome wheel weights.

 

The wheels aren’t usually what’s out of balance, it’s the tires.&amp\\;nbsp\\; Any time you remove/replace tires they must be balanced.&amp\\;nbsp\\; There are chrome weights available but if you can’t find any local it only takes a few minutes to rub the lead ones to a shine with some polishing compound.

 

What happened to my post?!?&amp\\;nbsp\\; It didn’t look like that when I typed it... I gotta lay off the beers.
