Thanks Evolution.
G. You may add material to the inside of the wheel to aid in balancing
Where is the "inside" of the wheel?
Disallowed is:
4. Filling of any wheel surface with any type of material.
Doesn't this contradict the other rule?
Also disallowed is:
5. Removing or modifying plastic material from inside the wheel.
I am assuming that the "inside does not include the inside of the wheel bore as tapping is allowed.
Thanks in advance.

My take is its any where on the back side of the wheel..I know some add clear fingernail polish as a weight for rebalance which is legal as i see it.

You are allowed to add material to aid in balancing the wheel, but you are not allowed to fill the inside of the wheel. I would say that if you filled the inside of the wheel with any material that it would only slow you down. I have filled the inside of the wheels in testing to see if there was any benefit to doing so and I could not find any.
You are allowed to tap the wheel bores, but you are not allowed to fill and drill new bores.

Thanks Evolution.
This makes sense.
Does this mean that something like a roll tap won't fly?
Thanks again,

Thanks so much!
Sorry but I just thought of 1 last question.
Can we remove areas around the spokes/ BSA markings if we do not touch those parts of the wheel?
Thanks again,

That has been talked about before so I know the answer. You can not remove material on the outside face except you can remove the double step and cone that area.
