ABSTRACT:
An automotive roadwheel of preselected rotational imbalance, the amount of imbalance being selected to coincide with the average amount of imbalance inherent in the tires to be mounted to the wheel and the orientation of the imbalance being readily discernable such as by coinciding with the location of the valve stem. The method of the invention calls for the heaviest orientation of the wheel to be aligned with the lightest orientation of the tire (or vice versa) during the mounting process to yield a balanced tire/wheel assembly without the need to add balancing weight in the majority of such assemblies.
