the balance machines I've seen have different methods for the placement of the weights. One is on the center of the wheels and the other is on the inner and outer part. The center method is terrible and the inner/outer method is more accurate. unfortunately they normally don't place the weights on the most outer part because of the lip of the wheel thus less accurate.

Some tire shops have the 'road force' balance machine which is suppose to be more accurate, but cost quite a bit more. I haven't tried that personally.

I also have Work wheels and do experience a very slight vibration between 65 - 75 mph. I found that higher tire pressure (37-38) seems to minimize the vibration.

BTW - do you have the correct hub rings?
