Add more of whatever is in there now. You're overthinking this. It doesn't matter what the weight is, or how many grams each piece is. It's simple physics.
Yeah man, its not rocket science.
If you have balanced them before on a machine then you have a ballpark of how much weight it'll take to balance them. If it took 12oz of lead weights on the outside it'll take about the same in BB's inside.
You can leave whatever bb's you already have in the wheels, and just add more to it. Even if you mix and match with airsoft bb's it shouldn't matter.
Not true....if it take 12 ozs @ the rim to balance, it will only take 6-8 ozs in the tire, as the beads will ride against the inside of the tread and be ~2x as far away from the rim center.
Jesus christ. Yes that is true, however, the excess will simply find a good place to hang out, keeping the assembly balanced.
Meanwhile, if you get mud in the tread or other material to screw up the balance, the excess will work to counteract it. This is in fact the strength of doing the balance this way. You get an active balance as you drive the vehicle.
Once again... It's simple physics.

Yes, in a perfect world it will take an exact percentage of less weight to balance using beads instead of weights on the rim. However, we don't live in a perfect mathematical world. If we did then he should've been just fine with the 6oz as per the manufacturer recommendation from where he got his beads.
As I previously stated, running 35x12.5r15 KM2's on 15x10 steel bead locks I am only running about 6.5oz of airsoft bb's and my tires balanced out very well. He is only running 33's and that's not enough for his to balance out. Damn, the math failed us. Granted, I figured on about 6oz based on the recommendations from Dyna Bead's website. So who knows.
I do wonder if its something other than a tire balance issue. Was the vibe there before the new wheels/tires?

If that's your rim....clean that thing up til it looks new before you put it back on the jeep...that mud can throw things off too.
