No balancing needed on mine but a lot depends on the tire. Just mounted mine up a couple months ago & still doing great. Love these wheels. Cant go wrong with them.

I've got slabs and TG's, have a slight shimmy right around 50 but nothing bad. I did call around and found a place that would balance em. Basically any big name place will tell you no. Just find a smaller mom and pop type place and tell them what you got. You'll be able to find someone if you think you need em balanced. At least that's been my experience.

I took them to a shop and got road force balanced for the slight bit they were off. The shop didn't ask any questions. Just used some sticky weights on the inside of the wheel

That stuffs awesome! Easy soap & water washes & brake dust doesn't stick. Highly recommended!

My last two sets of beadlocks I got lifetime rotations and balancing at my local discount tire. They won't mount them but they will balance and rotate them no issue

It's really not that hard to do these. The first one you learn on and the rest are easy. The beads on the Trail Graps are more pliable that the Coopers I installed and
had me questioning my abilities after watching Mel slam them on the slabs he demo'd. After sending Eddie 5 panicky PM's asking him what the hell am I doing wrong
I finally figured it out.
Once you get the tire on the wheel its just a process of chasing the bolts around until they're all torqued at 23ft-lbs. Throw 'em on & do a test drive. You may not need to balance them
if you're lucky.

Anyone run balance beads or some other dynamic balancer on beadlocks?

If you're going to balance them (if its even needed) save your $$ & do traditional balancing. Seems like 1 out of 10 say the beads actually do anything...

And by tradition you mean road force balance not a static balance

Yup :thumb:
How much weight did your wheels need Coz? I'm getting my inspection done tomorrow and just for the hell of it they're gonna put one wheel on their machine to see how close it is or if it needs any weights.

I honestly forget. Wasn't much. Maybe 4oz each wheel?
