TooCool generally does it for me, but he's out of town and I need my CCWs re-done finally. Any place that can do this w/o fucking up the wheels and will do it for a reasonable price? I'm thinking of going to Eurosport on Birdneck.

It specifically measure the imbalance of the Tire and Rim individually. Then you mark the tire and rim where the machine tells you to, dismount tire and re-mount with the lines lined up. It balances the tire to the max. to completly or as much as possible reduce vibration.

I guess normal balancing isnt good enough for you, like the rest of the entire world. I am having a hard time confincing myself that there could be any real benefit to spending the extra money.

Normal balancing doesnt cut it when your doing 120+ down the front at VIR.

I dont think that any of the tow trucks that car rides on will ever be doing 120+ down the front at VIR.
