Default Balancing a Prostar: possible?

They're two piece wheels, with the center piece basically floating until it's mounted on the car. Can they be balanced? Waste of time?

The weld Prostar is a lug centric wheel. They should be balanced off the lug holes. You should always try to balance wheels the way they will center on the vehicle. Try finding a good tire dealer who has the adapters for balancing from the lug holes. This usually solves all vibration problems.

did them myself at a buddys shop, you can use just a regular tire balancer without any problems.
