BINGO!
and it may take only 5min longer total.... just depends how many have to be delfated and rotated on the rim. but still doesnt take longer than 2-3hrs lol as an ex discount tire employee myself, i agree that road forcing doesnt help much, unless its way the hell off, but usually the positioning of the tire on the wheel isnt the problem its most likey the tire at fault. you put a messed up tire on damn near perfect rim it aint gonna do **** for ya no matter where ya put it.... what tires are you running?

the wheels were hub centric for the car. there were some thing wrong with it when i went to balance them today... the rears weren't balanced at all the fronts were counter balanced and the brake clips were still on and the wheel did not have a recess in the wheel... but iunno, thought i balanced them bad *** but i guess not...

at this point does any1 else have any other suggestions? if not il give the road force balance a try
Road force balancing will tell you if your tires or rims are bad. A lot of times I've seen aftermarket rims cause problems no matter brand they are. Cheap tires will cause issues aswell. Also there are idiots that use the big 1/2 ounce sticky weights and those always fly off. Calipers also tend to knock weights if clearance is close.
For smoothness its hard to beat an ugly oem wheel and a michelin tire.
