My question is, are our wheels supposed to be balanced "lug centric" or "hub centric"?

The lazy ntb tire shop that I use always seems to balance them hub centric. They looked at me funny when I asked them this.

I've been told it's just part of owning a convertible, good ole cowl shake.

So far I have:
-installed flsfc
-replaced 2 bent rims
-replaced busted motor mounts
-had the dealership measure runout and it's within spec
-replaced front hubs
-replaced shocks/struts

Those wheels are most likely Hub centric. Every "R" replica I've encountered was hub IIRC.

If they are not and are lug centric and they try to balance them hub centric most likely they will not balance.
They will either show an error or the tech will be weight chasing for hours.
