I have done it for years using Brents method.

A Harbor Freight static balancer, then use the stick-on weights only on the inside of the rim and then paint them wheel color to camouflage.

i can see how that would be a neat trick with the suction provided by a tubless tire when left to expand........but it doesn't sound logical with tubes as they would have no expansion. Has anyone used this with tubes?? It would be great if it worked.

Basically the same method as I described in post 16. After reading a thread here, I often think that many of us over think these things. These Model As are only nuts and bolts after all.
