All the wheels will balance perfectly, except the one with the 'flat spot' on the lip of the rim.
As far as factory wheels, they are waiting on rubber because they will be my winter wheels, the factory rubber was shot, so I stripped them and threw them away.
As for putting the rim on the rear, can not be done b/c they are 20x8's up front and 20x10's in the rear.
I think there is a guy here in Indy that can do it if I drop my car off to him for the next 2 days so I am thinking this is the route I want to go, but he can't guarantee me it will be done.
Damn I knew something like this would happen.
Thanks for the ideas guys, can never have too many of them.
Check out these guys:
http://www.mobilewheelrepair.com/
They are a nationwide franchise service across the country. I've had good luck in my area with the firm that is associated with them. See of they have a mobile rep nearby. They should have everything they need to repair the wheel in their 2-room mobile shop. They claim 1-hr turnaround time at your home.
Hope this helps,
