On custom wheels, have them clean the inner surface with rubbing alcohol so
that the tape weights will stick. (Sounds like ya threw a couple of
weights.) Most balancers (at least the ones I used to work on) were set to
70MPH...some are set to 55 so ask just to be safe for the higher speed
balance.

Subject: DML: tire balancing methods

A couple of quick question: What are the different ways to balance tires?
Which way is the best? Reason I ask is, I had my 17" B. Coddington's
mounted and balanced last week, and they are way out of whack. Truck shakes
so bad I can barely drive it. I am taking it back in tomorrow and wanted to
know as much as possible before they guy tried to give me a line of B.S.
