Balancing Fuch wheels

[Dougal Cawley]

I drew a picture a bit ago to try to help with some Fuch wheel balancing a while ago i thought it might be useful



So the ploblem we have come accross is dynamic balancing wheels where the central structure of a wheel is in gthe way of where you want to put weights.

The best way to balance a wheel is dynamically with weights as far out board on each rim as you can. Hoowever on a Fuch it looks a bugger, and on modern Allloy wheels often the structure oif the rim is to the outboard side of the wheel making it impossible to put the weights toatlly out board.

Because the modern wheels structure makes it impossible to put the weights where they should really go modern balancing machines have developed a fascility to balance the wheel inside. Good for them, and it does work.

Because some Fuch wheels are wide and deeeply dished the structure can be central or even inboard, so when you are trying to generate the effect of having a weight on the outboard bead seat it doesn't work.

I hope the picture depicts this.

Basically the best way to balance is weights on the bead seats. but that doesn't loook pretty

if not often with a fuch you are better off with static balancing not dynamic
