Collet mounting is one of the most common and reliable ways to
mount wheels on balancers.
The Bullseye® Centering System is a set of collets that provides
wheel centering coverage for most passenger cars and light trucks.
Due to the degree of taper on the collets, multiple collets may be used
on a wheel assembly. As long as the collet is in the center bore of
the wheel, and does not bottom out, it can be used. To verify, always
perform a centering check.
Select the proper Bullseye® Centering System collet by placing it in
the center bore of the wheel to be balanced. Select the collet that
contacts the wheel nearest the center of the collet.
Using The Plastic Wheel Mounting Spacer
The plastic wheel mounting spacer, 46-320-2, may be used to prevent scratches on wheels where the standard plastic cup
and scratch guard cannot be used.
The plastic wheel mounting washer may also be used when mounting a wheel with a large offset that is between collet
sizes. Use of the washer as shown below can improve centering ability by increasing cone pressure against the wheel.
Using The 9-Inch Alloy Wheel Pressure Cup
In some cases, the wing nut contact point of the wheel
may be extremely wide, and the standard clamp cup will
not properly contact the wheel hub area. In these cases,
the optional nine inch alloy wheel pressure cup may be
used in place of the clamping cup.
