[DeTomaso] Wheel Balancing

[Julian Kift]

I was watching Velocity reporting on the SEMA show a couple nights ago and interestingly they showed a new generation wheel balancer with laser. runout. It could calculate the optimal location of the tire around the rim to offset any tire imperfection to rim bias and tell the technician where to rotate the tire on the rim optimally. Pretty neat, but not sure all the shops would take the extra time.

Off subject, but question...were the large chunks of balance weight an
indication prior to the failure or added after some repairs were attempted
in that area.

Looking at all my options. This is the rear rim from my GT5-S - needless to
say it doesn't hold air very well. Plan "B" will probably be to buy a new
set of rears from Marvic, but since theirs are 14", I'd have to buy 2.
Before taking the plunge, I'm looking for options.



If I buy two 14"s, I'd have a good 13" for sale. Any idea what market value
is for a 15x13" magnesium rim for the widebody cars?
