Nope hub centric machine but I did spend a hour with my micrometers and measured each hole to the center hole and center hole to the edge of the rim was satisfied that it was centered and with the tapered lug nuts to pull it center I was going with it. I didn`t have the originals balanced just thought I would try on these new ones. I think with the new technology in manufacturing that issue might be a thing of the past. Could be wrong time will tell.

Just a side note I did try and find someone that would lug centric balance the wheels when bought the camper in 2018 and was met with "what`s that your talking about" or "we don`t do that because the equipment and labor would be to much" and gave up.
