CL find - not mine - wheels
 
Looking for wheels (6 lug) for my 67 c10 and I came across this deal. Not what I'm looking for, but looks like an awesome deal:

Are the hubcaps rare/desirable?

Smokin deal is right , those are original 1966 only hubcaps , not aftermarket hubcaps.

Maybe a bad balance job or maybe why he is getting rid of them. If I was halfway close I would look at them. Caps look awesome.

Whenever you see staggered wheel weights, it shows an inexperienced installer. Proper method is to mark the tire and rim, rotate the tire on the rim 90* and try to balance again. If the situation continues scrap the tire or wheel.

I recently had some Kumho tires mounted, one actually has no weights at all, runs smooth.

I worked at a tire shop when I was a kid mounting, balancing and installing and I never heard of this. It makes sense though. I had plenty of cheap cars with cheap tires need weight all over the place. Never had a complaint about tire shake!

I'm looking for tires, likely Michelins. Those Michelins. Why can't this guy NOT be 3,000 miles away?
