Just did a set of Castalloy bagger wagon wheels for a buddy. Maybe ¼oz out on each, both heavy at the valve stem as they should be. Very similar on my 2 sets of pre '99 Fat Boy wheels and on the Thunderstars.
Wouldn't be so bad if the heavy spot was at the valve stem on these where you would be potentially matching up the tire dot(light spot of tire). This 90° out means unless you know, your tire guy is almost always going to be using a lot if weight.
When doing tires, I spot check the wheel balance alone if it comes in with a bunch of weight. It's interesting to see the majority of the Japanese, Euro & Victory/Indian wheels typically be near perfect. Then you get these now Chinese HD wheels and their all over the place.
The Aussie Castalloy balance out better but also something about them "just feels" like they are quality in your hand.

I saw all the old Castalloy equipment up for sale on auction a while back, not sure what ended up of it.
