Before refinishing these and making them pretty, does it make any sense to balance just the wheel by welding the proper amount of flat steel inside at the light spot to balance the wheel.? I'm thinking if the balance plates are well rounded the tube would not care that its there. Or - will the tires be out of balance anyway, so it doesn't mater if the wheel is out of balance. If so, has anyone tried mounting a tire in various orientations to cancel out the wheel imbalance with the tire imbalance. i know its just a Model A but bouncing down the road is annoying. Like I said, I've read numerous threads so I'm aware of the various options such as beads, stick on weights etc.

I'd say not because once you put the tube and tire on it could be out of balance. need to balance once together. some tire shops are able to balance model A tires. Good luck.
