Just wondering if you have to drill holes in the wheel. A pic from the inside of the wheel would be nice.

Ok. Thanks.
Now about the rears...I've heard it said that you can use another B wheel center as a weight on each wheel. Does it do much good? How much does a B wheel center weigh? Thanks

Get centers made for steel wheels and they weigh about 180 pounds each.

Really? I thought the centers were the same for both rubber and steel wheels. That's what I see in most of the photos I see of steel wheel B's.
Bill Long...time for you to chime in!!

The ones for steel wheels have 4 mouse holes instead of 2 and are 2" thick, double what the standard ones are.

Here are the steel centers. He has had them for sale for at least 2 years, too heavy to ship.

I don't know what happened but the post heading is about FRONT WHEEL WEIGHTS and all of a sudden all of the discussion is about rear weights and rear wheel centers. ??? Bob

It's not Rocket Science.
The 'Original Posters' 2nd post was about rear wheel weights.
