Was looking for good future options on wheel weights. More critical with aftermarket wheels that have more open designs.

Anyway, here's what I found. German company too

Have always requested weights to be positoned on the inner portion of rims. Just purchased a set of Carerra Classics and IIRC the barrels are already black so plan is to clean, scuff, and paint the weights black. T

 

I thought when put on the balancing machine, it tells the tech where to place the weights?? Could be on either side of the wheel barrel correct? Inner or outer??

 

Oh great, I predict a whole series of new forum threads to open up..."Opinions needed: Which color wheel weights should I get?"

 

Good balancing machines show where to place weights (I.e. Inside or outside). The weight can be placed in the middle if that looks better.

Drives me crazy to have great looking wheels and the have weights glued on!

 

G, For the $$$ you spent on all four corners, I would explect no less than Road Force balancing with wheel weights postioned on the inner part of the barrels T

 

From what we've been seeing lately on here, would be a treat

 

never seen or thought about before...wow.

 

Please forgive the newbie question, but what do these weights do? Thank you in advance

 

Wheel balancing weights. Pretty ones.

 

I have 4 cars with black wheels. I have been buying black wheel weights from summit racing for a few years now.
pretty inexpensive too!

 

 

You don't like Phil??

 

I curbed a wheels, had it fixed and came back with silver wheel weights on my black GTS. Porsche - who arranged for the wheel to be fixed and who did the balancing - told me they don't carry black wheel weights; so I think I'll be buying a set of the above. Thanks for the link.

 

I've already sourced a lifetime supply of black wheel weights for my black-painted Classics. Silver weights on a black wheel barrel would make my head explode.
