Tirerack is great and I love 'em, but the last "balanced" set I got left much to be desired. They were totally unbalanced. It might have been a fluke, but I had stuff like weights falling off upon delivery, etc. To their credit, they paid all costs without hesitation to have a local dealer rebalance them. They were also incredibly helpful and flexible on one order that had problems with untrue wheels. So, I highly recommend them, I recommend the GSP9000 whether they use it or you find one locally... but you still might end up at the tire shop.
