>Bill, I sometimes balance my own with a bubble balancer, and sometimes use
a
shop that uses a bubble balancer.  Seems to work fine, as long as the wheel
is in good shape.  But my balancer centers on the center hole, while the
car
centers on the lug holes, so if the wheel isn't perfect ...

There are bubble balancers that center on the lug holes, but they are much
more expensive.  Someday I plan to machine a plate to convert my bubble
balancer.

Randall, why don't you just take a spare front wheel hub, bolt you wheel on
and balance on the center opening of the hub?
