I believe a lot of you guys know. The wire rims (low rider style rims) are really hard to get balance(wheel balancing). So how about the mesh? Are they hard to balance?

balancing is the same but I read somewhere mesh design has weaker structure integrity and cheap mesh will suffer more if you hit pot holes

I had me some usedrikens before, they balanced fine but after 2 years of hard driving, all 4 were supposedly no longer able to be balanced... as in it was warped badly.

just my poor experience. I never had ssr but then again I think I'm the only one who ended up with warped wheels.
