I have a set of American Racing Vectors on my 'Vette. I had them spun before mounting the new tires to be sure that they were not bent or distorted - they checked out OK. My problem is that one of the wheels has an extremely heavy spot in it. The tire was removed and the wheel put on a balancer without the tire, this was how the heavy spot was located.
The wheel/tire combo have been rebalanced several times but an excessive amount of weights are needed on this one wheel. I am still getting vibration at highway speeds.
How do I remove some material from the wheel to minimize the heavy spot. Can I use a random orbit sander to clean up the back/inside of the wheel or do I have to send it out to a specialty shop?
