Question has anyone test wheel balance w/o tire?

hi,

i have a set of 18x9 wheels i plan to use...

i had the tire Tech spin the wheel on the dynamic balancer and it reads the following:
... now the tire machine tells the Tech where to add the weight. Remember tires and weights are removed! does have valve stem though.

Wheel 1:
Add 0.5

Wheel 2:
Add 0.5

Wheel 3:
Add 0.75

Wheel 4:
Add 0.0

Should i be worried of the .75 and the .5 wheels? is it off a lot?

what should i do?

Thanks,

No wheel is completely true, even right out from the factory. These are used wheels, they are normal to show minor imbalance.

too bad we can't have a full set that is completely true. i did have one that is.... balances out to 0.0.

sux it can't be all 4 to be like this...

but good to know this is normal!
