try putting bean bags inside your tire for weights, they work alot better than the stick on weights. BTW nice work on the tire carrier.

About 45 hours of labor, and only $200. However I completely understand why the real thing costs so much more. Thanks for all the compliments guys. I'll be sure to get final pictures of it once the paint drys.

If you have decent or painted rims and you dont want to mess up the finish and some say they balance better being closer to center of rim plus unless you look closesly you cant see the weigths

Nice work, but i wouldn't have one if you gave it to me... looks far too pre-runnerish...
