Default Balancing Draglights

Did you guys have your drag tires and rims balanced? My draglights have a loose center section and the shop that mounted them couldn't balance them. There machine goes through the center of the rim and there is no way of holding the center section tight. They said if I want them balanced I need to find a balancer that goes through the 5 stud holes then you crank on the lug nuts and it will hold the center section from flinging around. I understand what there saying and it makes sense. Is it hard to find someone with a machine like this or do people not balance them?

That shop sucks then. I have had mine balanced at a few different shops and never had a problem. They won't spin around in there if the do it right. Either way take it somewhere where they know their *** from their elbow.

you can stick 5 loose rubber valve stems in the lug holes and it will hold the center piece
