Wheel balancing
Just put new c6 wheels on my 95 Vert. I had the 'crytals' put in instead of lead weights to balance tires. Not sure if I am happy with the results,especially at 65 mph +/-. Any similar experiences with the crystals that that put in tires to balance the wheel.

Yep, Force Balancing puts the tire under a load, as though the weight of the vehicle is on it. It can also detect tires that are beyond the "spec" limit for proper balancing. Highly recommended for expensive performance tires.

Had mine done with roadforce balance and a small shimmy that I had since installing tires was corrected, however you need a tech. that knows how to use it and wants to do a good job. This tech. took his time and explained exactly what he was doing and showed me the results for each tire. Even when they were within tolerance he did some fine tuning to get them better.
