Q for the guys mounting and balancing now...
I guess the standard/typical machine is like the Hunter Road force balancer or similar right (say places like firestone, goodyear, discount tires, etc)
Is there an option to "fine" balance? I've heard of this, but also heard how much of a pain it can be, but the results are very impressive. you also need to capability of trimming the stick on weights or having various sizes
typically done for higher speed/higher performance times, from what i'm understanding.

When would you want a lug centric balance or a hub centric balance? and can these be "fine" balanced?
I'm asking in regards to the factory Honda Accord and Nissan Frontier tires/rims.
If i am not mistaken, Weld Wheels like my Draglites are supposed to be lug centric balanced.
Is this just a special adaptor or machine specific? Wouldn't your typical tire shops have this capability?
