The Draglite wheels are a lug centric wheel and should be balanced through the lug holes. This will hold the floating spacer in place and balance the wheel they way it will center on the car, through the lug nut holes. Good shops will have an adapter for your bolt pattern to balance these correctly.

x2 what wheelczar just said. Our shop uses "finger plates" which acts like the wheel is bolted to the car. Its the best type of balance for your wheels.
