I notice the same thought for 3 main boxers. A true balance is everything out to wheels, the gain is momentum keepers, and of course round wheels taking real balance. heavy welcome in my world, in fact it was a mircale adding 10 pounds a wheel on a 90hp boxer.
for all other setups, I check car weight.
heavy car long stroke, heavy wheel,
long stroke light car, heavy wheel,
little stroke, light car, light wheel <- these are almost extinct.
and then there is ratings of tires. if the car needs a t rated and above. (AWD anything) and sporty, lightweight wheels aren't gonna last. trial and error for me from pickups to 4000 pound sedans to chevettes and ford escorts. The subaru personally is the most bizarre example of needing something found on a corvette.
ignore this post if it is in this thread already. my net is absolutely terrible. I do not exist sometimes. I could guess this is my third time (at least) answering this thread. why i disappear is as strange as 5 mains in a boxer and calling it good.
