I am getting ready to pull my wheels and do the tubless conversion on them. Part of the job will be to re-install the tires, and balance them.
I've done plenty of tire replacements, and balancing, however I've never worked on wire wheels, and I don't have the proper wheel weights for balancing.

Is this 12pc kit enough?
Can you get away with a different kit?
