Roll Me Over
Just bought a set. I've been eying them for over a year now, and finally decided to part with the money. I've tried everything and still have a slight vibe. (I think it's my cheap dunlops that are out of round). But either way... these things should really fine tune the balancing. next move for a smoother truck is gonna be 37" Goodyear MT/R's. Every article I read about the centramatics raved about how good they are. So I had to try them for myself. I'll let you guys know how they work for me. can't wait for them to show up.

I use them w/ my 37's and beadlocks. I don't do much street driving but when i do, i can hit 65-70 easy w/o vibes. That said, that's still top speed. Best buy man, you'll love em'.

another postive review! lol. I don't have bead locks, I have Eagle Alloy 15x10's. I'm gonna have the MTR's Force Balanced on a Hunter 9700. That along with the Centramatics... thing should ride like a caddy. I just wanna get rid of my "Dumlop Oval Rovers" next.

I like mine... they don't balance perfectly (like I should expect ANYthing to balance 35s perfectly) but they meet my expectations very well. The only downside is the sandy swoosh sound when I go slow... my son thought my rotors were toast. A bit of an unusual sound.

Oh, and they hide my bling bling rear disks.... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rodent.gif" alt="" />
