D1 wheel balance?

Post by Robbie224 »

Original dunlop 10" D1s will fit over a 7.5 brake disk and miss calliper but 99% sure wont be any room for wheel balance weights. Any ideas? Very rarely drive over 60mph so might get away with unbalanced. Any thoughts.
Thanks

It was always said that including the valves, Dunlop D1 wheels ,as a stand-alone, didn't need balancing. I think that there is space for stick-on wreights although in the past I've had them stuck on the outside, in the 'spoke' recess and painted them black to suit.

Thanks Peter, reassuring read, getting tyres put on tomorrow so we're see.
The D1s I have didn't have any balance weights on them when I received them from original owner.
