Slvr-camaro15 · 02-02-2018, 07:01 AM

Hey guys maybe someone can help me out in the forum . So I took my ride to get the wheels balanced yesterday since the steering wheel was shaking a bit once I hit about 50 + mph . for some reason only one of the rear ones was completely off . No matter how much we tried with the lil weights to balance , It kept showing off numbers . . So ultimately the guy said . Your rim must be bent somewhere very slightly. When we put it on that Lil balancing machine , the wheel had a lil bounce to it . .he said best best is to get another wheel , Tire is still good !! So just wanted to know if anyone has 1 20 inch wheel they looking to get rid off . I have the regular 5 spoke wheels that come with the RS Package .(not in my signature pic).

front or rear?

I've got a set of rears I bought for 'spares'. Really only need 1.

He mentioned one of the Rears.

Now, Midnight or Polished ?

Yeah rear right one . Apparently it's a little bent . Not visible but the guy at Sears said that thats the only thing that makes sense. Alignment is perfect .all the rest 3 balanced perfectly . This one's keeps saying the weights are heavy or something random like that .

Did they have the wheel mounted to the balancing machine with the correct metal cone? How much weight was the balancing machine calling for? Was there a lot of weight added during the previous balance? After seeing this bounce on the machine, did you stop the machine and were able to see the bend you didn't pick up on previously?

If you can't see a bend at all without the wheel spinning on that machine I would have the wheel mounted to a balancer at a different shop and make sure your tire isn't structurally falling apart before running out to buy a new wheel.

Also, wheels aren't perfect and have a heavy spot (some worse than others). The same goes for tires which also have a heavy spot. If it's asking for under 3 ounces of weight and you have verified your tire is structurally sound, you can rotate the tire 180 degrees on the wheel and the machine will ask for much less weight.
