Balancing Z06 Wheels???
I need to have my wheels balanced and I need to know what machine/brand is able to do this to the best accuracy? I also would like to have self stick weights on the inside as well. Can anyone help me out? Thanks in adavance.

Hunter GSP9700 is a great machine. Also measures, locates & identifies ground force (sidewall) imperfections and displays the imbalances in pounds. 14 to 18 lbs is max ground force to allow in a quality tire.

Be sure to specify either "Hidden Spoke Mode" or "Split Weight Mode" otherwise they will stick ugly looking weights out in the open section of the rim barrel. Thats what happened to mine on the first go around with the Hunter GPS9700, and the darned Chevy tech said he never heard of those modes. So I contacted Hunter directly and we arranged for a service rep to go to the Chevy dealer the next morning and TRAIN them on how to use the balancer properly. Anyhow my rims finally got done the way I wanted and they are smooth riding & no vibrations what so ever. I might post some pics of them next week.
