Buy an electronic scale, use the high accuracy option, you can trim weights. My Coats, I can get balance down to .01 oz per plane.

And use a pin plate or hub plate - whatever Hunter calls it. Backbone and pin plate are the best way to mount a wheel to a balancer.

Coats training said modern wheels, the centers were off 5% on average, so not to use cones. Cones are simply quick for tire shops.

Coats noted 50% of the balancing problems start with mounting the wheel to the balancing machine.

If you see the machine asking for several ounces of weight on a plane, double check your mounting.

If that balancer does dynamic balance, then can do a "static" imbalance - that adds a weight to the center line. Typically small.

Good luck.
