Precision Centering Accessories

Precise wheel balancing relies on two critical conditions, (A) accurate center mounting and (B) distortion-free clamping while providing cosmetic wheel protection. To accurately mount a wheel, the center of the wheel must first be properly located on the balancer shaft. Contrary to popular belief, hub-centric and lug-centric wheels all use the hub bore as the center locating position of the wheel.

Traditional high-taper, deep-depth cones often fail to fit properly within the bore of the wheel. The actual bore of the wheel (not the bore chamfer) is where centering takes place when the wheel is mounted on a vehicle. Many modern aluminum wheel designs cannot be properly mounted with traditional cones.

The low-taper of a direct-fit, dual-taper collet (versus the high-taper cone) offers better hub bore contact and prevents bottoming out on outer hubcap bore designs.
