    Got some swampers!

    Weld rims, Swamper STS tires...16x10 and 36x14.5

    Left the center caps off....I'm not a big fan of them. Not sure how I feel about them off. Old stuff is for sale if anyone is interested...

    (even washed it up for the pics lol)

    they need to be rebalanced, wobble a bit above 45...but even at 45 they hum pretty good.

    You should try powder balancing, did that when I switched to the 20's and 37's. Wheels have no external balance weights at all, just powder in each wheel. I had never heard of this but was willing to try it as the shop stood behind it for larger tire balancing. Stuff works great, no high speed wobbles, no shakes, nothing. They made a believer out of me, I love the stuff and never have to worry about loosing a wheel weight while offroading again....

    I ended up balancing myself...took like 8ozs....which is excessive, but had them going 60 and steering shake was pretty minimal. I can live with it.


    I've heard powder/ BBs / mini sand bags all work pretty well.

    I like the powder and have heard of the BB's never sand. The only thing with the BB's or sand is I'd be concerned with damaging or sand-blasting the inside of the wheel and it might also eat into the rubber itself.

    By the way the new setup looks good on there, not sure about no centers though....

    i'm going to see if I can find just an old fashion "cup" center cap for them. Ones that slide in from the back and have a lip on them. The bolt on covers for the welds are HIDEOUS.
