The tire and wheel combos we carry are not machined balanced. You can have the tire and wheel combos balanced at a local tire shop if you wanted to.

What some manufacturers will do is line up the light spot on the tire with the heavy spot on the wheel. This is a type of balancing but not like how car tires are balanced (with weights on a balancing machine).

For a metal valve stem we have the part # AM20906 (made of chrome-plated brass) which fits all trailer rims with hole diameters: 0.453" and 0.625".
