Abstract
A wheel balance adjustment device and wheel balance adjustment method which can improve directional stability and handling stability are provided. In a case in which one third of a rim peripheral direction length (W) of a correction weight(W/3) is shorter than a rim peripheral direction length S corresponding to a ground contact length of a tire assembled to a rim, the directional stability and handling stability can be improved by dispersing the correction weightin the rim peripheral direction and attaching at predetermined positions of the rim periphery (a point B, a point K and a point G).
