Is DIY solution - find out a weight of that green crub balancing accessory and using epoxy glue a LEAD strip from regular balancing balance and glue a crub from behind a rim permanently on 4 rims and forget about it .You can balance wheels any time you desire! Just cut accordingly to achieve a desire weight and show a finger to BMW .Thanks God I own 8 regular rims like cars using for more than century.
I just weighed my Power Spoke balancing accessory: 75 grams. Contact @Rexsio for blueprints of DIY solution.
When I look at a picture of that rim I’m seeing about 6 “ of lead and opposite side about 2” this is very unhealthy rim .I’m not provide blueprint for that that’s why we call DIY only for skillful owners is idea I can’t shame BMW for such poor design .
Well, the balancing weight can't be mounted permanently because then the wheel would be unbalanced when the wheel cover was re-attached. The skillful owners who don't want to spend less than $30 for the accessory will have to make a 75-gram weight that snaps into the same hole the BMW balancing accessory snaps into (see photo above).
You obviously balance a rim with green 75 g . Weight than on pic. You provide on opposite side when a tool was removed you can see so big weight of LED to counter balance that 75g.How do you feel if that rim is balanced good when you see such big weight there?
Fortunately, my Power Spoke wheels came balanced. Because I run with Loop Spoke wheels 364 days of the year, I won't have to worry about testing my Power Spoke balancing accessory. But I have one if I (or the next owner of my SE) ever need it.
I "rotate" mine twice a year, when I switch between summer/winter tires. Since I'm doing at least 20,000 miles per year that's rotating once every 10,000 miles or so. I haven't had any issues, but maybe I should rotate more often. One thing about the SE is the weight distribution is so much more even than an ICE vehicle that the tires in front aren't really carrying a heavier load. There is the matter of possible extra torque on the front wheels from the EV acceleration, though. But MINI's automatic anti-slip traction control should minimize wear from that.
I rotate every 5k. Easy to keep track of that way, but I'm also running nearly 30k miles a year. I notice quite a bit of additional wear on the fronts, most likely due to the torquey nature and my heavy foot. The outer shoulders on the front also wear pretty quick, but that could also be due to attempts at driving on 2 wheels lol.
I think I got about 15k out of my hankooks, which means I have about 10k on my Firehawks. They're definitely grippier. It seems like I've taken a hit on my range, but I had them over winter, also. I like them, especially for the price I paid.
The S.drive was a 300TW tyre. It was replaced by the Advan Fleva V701. I have V701s on my R53 and really like them. They are European C rated for rolling resistance. Pretty good for so much stickiness.
