Features
2D Automatic Data Entry
Pull the measuring ruler to the rim and lower the wheel guard; the linear grating measurement scale inputs distance, width, and rim diameter automatically. No manual entry for standard wheels, no transposed digits sending weights to the wrong spot.
Laser Plus LED Fill Light
The laser shows exactly where to place the next weight, and the built-in LED fill light illuminates the placement spot in low light. No guessing, no repositioning, no flashlight in your teeth.
One-Button Balance Point Positioning
A single button auto-rotates the wheel to the balance point and locks it in place, instead of hand-spinning the tire to find 12 o'clock. Faster cycles and less fatigue across a day of wheels.
Modes for Steel, Alloy, and Motorcycle
STD covers steel rims with clip weights, ALU 1 and ALU 2 handle adhesive weight placements including hidden inside positions, ALU-S hides weights behind spokes on 3 to 12 spoke rims, and STA does static balancing for motorcycle and narrow tires.
Self-Calibration That Survives Power Cycles
The built-in calibration routine uses a 100g test weight and saves its data to memory, persisting through power cycles. Run it at installation or whenever accuracy comes into question, without a dealer service call.
Guard-Activated Spin with Interlock
Lowering the included wheel guard starts the spindle automatically, and the safety interlock prevents operation with the guard open. One less thing to think about at the end of a long shift.

Call (855) 498-2147Frequently Asked Questions
What size wheels can the FWB-8823 handle?
Rims up to 30 in, wheel diameters up to 39 in, widths from 1.5 to 15 in, and up to 165 lb per wheel. That covers passenger cars, light trucks, and SUVs.
How accurate is it?
±1g balancing precision. FINE mode displays actual imbalance values in 1g increments when you want maximum resolution.
How does the automatic data entry work?
Pull the measuring ruler to the rim edge and the linear grating scale automatically inputs distance to rim and rim diameter. Width calculates automatically when you lower the wheel guard.
What balance modes does it have?
STD for steel rims, ALU 1 for inside and outside adhesive weights, ALU 2 for hidden inside adhesive placement, ALU-S for special-shape rims with spoke hiding (3 to 12 spokes), and STA static mode for motorcycle and narrow tires.
How do I calibrate it?
The built-in self-calibration uses a 100g test weight on a 13-15 in tire. Run it during initial setup or whenever accuracy is questioned; the data saves to memory and persists through power cycles.
Can it balance motorcycle tires?
Yes, in STA static mode for motorcycle tires and other narrow single-plane applications.
