Wheel balancing
The GS wheel has a large hole in the middle. Can this be used to balance the wheel "conventionally"? Or does the GS wheel require "centerless" balancing like DS and 2CV wheels?

Re: Wheel balancing
I don't recall having any issues with the balancing of wheels over here.
Two types of GS wheels, and there is a third (without holes or slots around the wheel).

Re: Wheel balancing
As long as the wheel can be mounted on a conventional balancing machine securely and accurately, there should be no problem with machine balancing them via the central hole. Van and truck wheels can have large central holes and they are balanced ok. Problems arise if the central hole isn't round or has protrusions or brackets in it.

Re: Wheel balancing
That's great to hear! I also got confirmation from Chevronics. I'm now looking for another wheel with 10 holes around the rim that matches my current set. The car currently has a non-matching spare from a GSA. I also remember the previous owner installed a tube in one of the tires as the rim wasn't entirely airtight.
