Picky Gs wheel balancing!!
I am about to get my 20s mounted, but I heard that the gs can sometimes have issues with shaking and is real picky when it comes to balancing the wheels. Is any machine better than others for more accurate balancing? Any advice?

I second that. Also, if it is a hub centric wheel, make sure you don't forget to use a hub centric ring. That's if the wheel is not custom made for your ride.

I hear alot of things from alot of people when it comes to balancing. The Hunter DSP 9000 series are great machines. But although the balancer may have zeroed out your wheel you might still get vibrations that might come from something else. Road Force balancing is really good but not always necessary on a new tire/wheel setup. What I recommend you do is check to see if they are using static or dynamic balancing. You want Dynamic balancing using tape weights only! Also, if the wheel has a universal fitment you must use hub centric rings. Make sure your shocks are in good condition. A bad shock can feather out your tire causing it to feather and shorten the life of the tire dramatically. And last but not least, NO UNIVERSAL SPACERS.
