Actually it does ride a lot smoother with the new Steelgards versus the 35 year old Eagle ST's. It rides like my Grampa's '71 Lincoln now, instead of my '95 3/4 ton Suburban. Whouda' thunk it?

:-)

Back from the cruise night. KevinW was there with his 69 327 Camaro convertible. Nice night for a cruise.

Steve,

What kind of PITA is it to balance those wheels?

Thanks,
Tim

Sort of. You have to find a tire shop with a balancer that has a lug-centric adapter (five separate spindles to fit in each lug hole) instead of the normal single spindle style. The high end shops usually have them. This is due to the urethane wheel face on the honeycomb that is not exactly aligned with the central hole on the steel core of the rim.
