new wheels KMC enduros 17x9

had a hell of a time getting the wheels balanced correctly.
finally got it right on the 3rd time. was getting the vibration just like i did with my stock wheels before i fixed those ones..
went to several dealers and tire shops. most used the center hole type balance machine the hunter. only some dealers have them, long story short, finally went to the san juan toyota and they have the adapter and use it on all vehicles, i told the rep i wanted to talk to the mechanic,. so i told him to remove all the existing weights and rebalance , and if the machine called for a weight on the outside, i told them it was ok to stick the weights on the polished lip. but ended up not needing them, and also when you hang the wheels on to put em back, you start with the bottom lug , then the top one and carefully make sure the wheels are going on lug centered.. because there is some gap in between the center hole of the wheel and the the hub.
and they can go on crooked if you do a shitty job, so anyway the mechanic was being cool about it and just listed to me and not give me a bunch of bullshit like everyone else., and did the way i say, because i knew the wheels were unbalanced. and i was right, if you balance correctly and mount them on right they fit.
so on way home, no vibration, awesome! i was right,
double checked again today still no vibration, YES!!
so just happy i got em fixed,
i used my revos that i had on stock wheels.
ya gotta put the tire on the rim by lining up the yellow dot with the stem
then get a balance with haweka adapter.
where did photodump go,? what are u guys using>?
tried to attach pic but got security token missing

Looks good, congrats. Most of the balancing hassle you went through is covered here, your situation is not unique.

I think I like the wheels, what about center caps?

Pics: Many of us use photobucket.com or flickr.com. I took the liberty of looking at your links, I don't know why they don't work. I do know the other two sites I listed work.
