nice build! gonna be a sick tire and wheel combo u got there!

cant give any input about the beadlocks and balancing since im running just steel rims, just get the welds even all the way around and itll balance better ive heard.

im running 10oz of polished airsoft bbs in each of my tires to control the crazy death wobble and also some centramatic wheel balancers and it made it bearable for high way speeds up to 65mph. these are also on bent/hammered rims.

so i think if u start off with 10oz each u can see where that gets u and always add more from there, they work surprisingly well aside from the sound u hear when stopping when they all fall onto the rim but who cares as long as they balance.

i soaked the BBs in WD-40 before they went in just so they dont stick together and move freely in the tire.



alright cool thanks man, its a starting point. ill start out around 8-10 oz and go from there
