Thanks for weighing in.
Nice pun.

If the wheels did not need to be rebalanced, the weights more than likely will not be changed. Most wheel weights are made out of lead and that stuff is a bit on the pricey side these days.

If you still get a vibration between 48-52 MPH request that the tires be "bulls eye balanced". Standard wheel balancing just rounds the weight to the nearest once. Bulls eye will give you a perfect balance. Most newer Hunter™ machines are configured to do so.
