Thanks to all of you for this information. I'll get a set of centramatics before I replace the tires and will also replace shocks and then take it from there. I'll see what happens.

I will call Centramatic in the morning, but I would like to know why you're saying that these balancers won't work with aluminum wheels. Are you only refering to Alcoa wheels or any aluminum wheels?...
