Tim,
Something that might help too. I watched the tire company in Tacoma, WA re=
commended by Charlie Arnold. The measured the tire run-out using a light t=
ouch of chalk on the outside of the tire, then measured rim run-out using t=
he same light touch of chalk on the inside of the rim. They then rotated t=
he tire to minimize overall run-out. Once this was done, they balanced the=
tire.
I've never seen this with a modern wheel, but with the wire wheels it made =
a noticeable difference.

Subject: [Fot] Balancing wire wheels
I just got my balancer working again and tried balancing a 4-1/2 inch wide =
and a 5-1/2 inch wide wire wheel off of a Triumph TR4A and a TR5. If I try=
to do a 2-plane or dynamic balance, I get very large weights, like 4 to 5 =
ounces that are to be added. If I do a single plane, static balance, then =
I get reasonable weights to add like a couple of ounces at most. I think t=
hat unless the wire wheel has been recently trued very accurately this is g=
oing to be the result. The wheels have large run out compared to alloy whe=
els. What have others who have tried to balance wire wheels come up with?
I got lucky with my balancer and could just use one of the cones and the la=
rge "T-nut" which mated up with the OD of the spline tube perfectly.
