Fun things tonight!
These are the 300-345 balancers. They have about an 1/8" clearance within the rim. I placed a little bit of antiseize on the back end. Also had to lose 3oz of weights on the passenger rear so the balancer could fit. That will be a good test on whether these are worth it or not. Also got to use my new LED underhood light!

I gave the tire a spin once it was on, surprisingly louder than I had anticipated. I'll give them a listen on my way to work tomorrow
I was expecting to care more about the sound, I don’t. It’s not as noticeable as I expected, even with the trail doors.
Yeah I only hear mine in the drive through...drives like glass on the highway 
Yep! I notice a little at stop lights but that’s because I don’t listen to anything on the shorter trips. We just got an in and out by us, so I noticed it there.
OP
It's not sound that will bother me, just a light whooshing sound is all.

I am going to like these.
40 miles into the office today and not once did I feel a shimmy in the steering wheel. Ive also had some vibrations that were slightly reduced I noticed. The rest I am sure are coming from worn out CA bushings. Wish I would have bought these when I first heard about them. As for paint--The section of tube that has a soft, silicone type material where I am assuming they capped after filling with the balancing material, will probably last a few days. I noticed last night that it was still very soft to the touch and leaves finger prints. But since they are a galvanized material, I am not worried about that at all.

What size are your wheels? I didn’t know until I just looked on the website but it says they only fit 16” wheels and up. Been thinking about a set for a while but I have 15” wheels and plan to stay there.
OP
They are 15x8s. No spacers or adapters either to get the balancers to fit. Bolt on and go.
