If I buy new rims and mount the stock tires on them from the stock rims, would it need balancing?

Yup. Anytime a tire is removed from a wheel, it should be balanced again on installation. It would normally be included in the price of the installation of the tire.

I think the unwritten rule is as long as you do something slightly different from the posters above you. (Loki doesn't have to follow these rules ... because loki)

For example:

Thank the first poster who said what you wanted to say.

Copy the yes and say that you agree 110% with this.

Copy the yes then add something interesting or funny or something super technical from wikipedia or the net.

It is actually the tires that need balancing, not the rims.

Theoretically, I bet you could note the location of the wheel weights form the stock wheels(relative to the tire) and add the same amount of weight to the new wheels and come out pretty close.

Yeah I understand that. Title should have been "New Rims. Need balancing?"
