Balancing 4.5 BS wheels

What's everyone doing to get these balanced up? I'm having a hell of a time to get them to balance without taking a ton of weights, I got some balancing beads from a truck store seems to help up till 80-85.

Setup: weld rts 15x10 4.5bs and running a 295/55/15 MT S/S

I work at discount tire. What we do to get the best balance is lube up the tire AND the wheel and air it up to 60 psi. This makes sure the bead is 100% seated. Then balance like normal.

Might have to rotate the tire on the wheel.

Sure a wheel isn't bent?

Yea that's the only thing I didn't try, was pressed for time. Yeah I'm sure the wheels are bent I watch them very carefully on the balencer.
