Ok there is a note about Diamond wheels being lug centric and the center hole can not be relied upon to be exactly centered. SOmething about how the center section is stamped and cut.
Anyone got an idea of how to balance one of these. I am going to put some Hankook RS-2 tires for the street on a set of 15 x 8 Diamond pro wheels. Wonder if I could use a spare front hub mount up the wheel and get it on a balance machine? |

We use the pin plate to be absolutely sure. It has to do with manufacturoring and tolerances. Remember, the hole in the center is there just for the centercap. The car actually uses the lug holes. Why should you balance around the center? Machining isnt perfect, and when talking about such small tolerances as seen in balancing of wheels, ya need to be perfect (to a quarter ounce). |
