What vehicle are we talking?..It really isn't necessary due to the size and weight of them.

its a s3 rx7, i do track stuff when i get the chance and the car frequently see 200km/hr+ so i want to be sure. the spacer has been fixed to the hub and i want to be sure that its still safely balanced, if its not necessary please let me knwo so i can forget about it!! :)

I don't think its an issue due to the distance from the centre of the wheel and the relatively light weight(when compared to a wheel/tyre combo.)...Were the spacers turned up on a lathe or just hacked out of a piece of steel with an oxy?

you can get tyres balanced on the vehicle...the only units i have seen are for trucks though, so they might not be accurate enough.

yeah ur prob right, the spacers are machined, but its just i put them back on and it felt as though it had some uneveness, maybe cos the discs had warped and got out of phase or sumthin??
