You may want to look into "innovativebalancing.com". They have a lot of information about alternative balancing options. I believe they use "balancing beads" which are ceramic beads. They seem to do a really good job of balancing, especially, in difficult situations. People seem to be very happy with their performance. You may want to do a search on balancing beads.



It would be a good idea to read 'innovatives' complete website. Quite a bit of good information, there.



Hope this helps.

Richard Andrews,



Where did you get the Innovative Balancing Beads, in Phoenix?



Thanks.

Buffalo I ordered the beads from their site. I do not know of any place that handles them. I do know that they work great on my tires. WILDMAN

Welcome to 2005. Dick Cepek has been closed for years. Mickey Thompson bought them and then resold them.

Greg,



What are you going to do with your stock wheels & tires? I'm looking for another set.

Try these, I bought a set 30,000 miles ago and would buy another.

There is a place on foothill blvd in Tujunga CA that does up to 22 inches wheels. I've never used them before though...
