    I used GooGone, but my rims are factory, not powdercoated.

    Hey Mofo, I forgot to follow up with you. How are the tires now that we balanced them?

    Better than ever! Balanced tires sure make a big difference, and thanks again for balancing them for me.

    My dealer does my mounting and balancing. I get to watch. It is my one luxury and one well earned. I have mounted hundreds of tires of all types using spoons. I have balanced tires statically and with a variety of machines. For the record I will not use balance beads. I am sure they work just fine but I won't use them.
