I had a thread about the Centramatic wheel balancers which have great reviews on-line but are expensive. Ken Burton and Ken Henderson promoted the Airsoft beads rather than the more expensive commercially available balancing beads.

So today I spent $14.99 + tax, less my Canadian Tire credits = ~ $10.00 on some Colt 0.20g polished airsoft BBs. I tried to break the bead myself, but after an hour on the first one, I took the last 5 wheels to a local garage who did it for FREE while I waited!

I installed 4oz in each tire, re-installed then went for a road test... and WOW! I brought it up to 70mph on the speedometer (which is really 75+mph)and not a hint of vibration! I've had CounterAct beads in the past but they were never this smooth.

Thanks To KenB and KenH for promoting the Airsoft beads, they work wonderful!!
