    hello.

    im just trying to figure this out. would you guys know how to do a dynamic balancing on wheels that have very close tolerances with the caliper? like close enough that the stick on weight could get snagged. lets assume this is the situation given a certain set of wheels. static balancing was done. balancing could be better though.

    changing wheels or spacing out is not an option in this case. rims have flat lip surfaces and do not have the "curving out" for your usual lip for a clip on weight to rest on. Is there a type of weight that is clipped on and made for a flat lip surface?

    thanks.

    There are weights that are 'peel-and-stick', rather than clip on. I still have some of those that I use when I do a static balance. Just need a fairly flat spot for them.
