It is many years since I used 1 of those but for wheels under 4'' wide generally that is all that is needed though dynamic balance is more accurate. If you have the clearance and the stick on weights I would put the as close to centre of the wheel, if you only have the weights that clip onto the edge I try to put 1/2 the weight inside and the other half on the outside. This helps reduce wheel shimmy caused by off centre balance.

Thanks that what I was thinking with the clip on weights. I also was wondering about spoke weights. Wonder what and how Chevy did it in 1932. Thanks for the input.

I have not used spoke weights on cars and very rarely on motor cycles. I would guess fixing the weights to a wooden spoke without doing damage to the spoke would be difficult and when fitting a small weight the mounting alone may be more than required.

@anthony-williamson The 32 has 18 inch steel wheels that’s why I was curious about spoke weights. Never used them just a thought.

In that case I would be fixing the weights in even amount on each side of the rim at the tire edge.

For my '35 Standard (17" wire wheels), I had the wheels dynamic balanced when I mounted new tires. Since I was planning to install trim rings, I didn't want to risk interference from the wheel weights. The guy who did the balancing had no objection to putting the weights on the inside. Plus, I liked the idea of not seeing the weights. I don't think wheel balancing was a common practice until the 1940s, when driving speeds began to increase.

My tires are Firestones, from Coker. They required lots of weights. It did not occur to me at the time, but a recent post, here, made mention of difficulty in balancing Firestones, from Coker.

@35mike I would like to know more about how you put the weight on the inside and how long did it take. Trying to understand. Thanks

Kevin, I should have said "back side" instead of "inside". I just meant the unseen side of the wheel.

There are some methods of balancing a tire by putting something inside, that somehow finds the right location to do the job. I think it is a big truck thing. I have never understood how it works.

They are tiny ball bearings. They're sold for motorcycles too. I've never tried them. Some swear by them and some call them snake oil. Google "tire balancing beads" and you'll get all the reading your heart desires.

@tiny yes I tried counteract beads . Did not like it. Plus I thought it was a pain with the tube tires. And like you mentioned you either love them or hate them. Thanks
