Default Black wheels, black wheel weights

Hello guys;

For guys with black wheels, do dealers put in matching black wheel weights or whatever they have laying around? Getting new tires mounted soon and I was hoping dealers will stick on black weights (my OCD).


Thanks.

Oh, and hand-carry into the dealership? Good idea.

A black Sharpie won't work? Or, wipe the weights off with some denatured alcohol, mask off barrel with a little painter's tape, hit it with a blast of rattle can spray paint?

For what its worth, my dealer used black wheel weights when they mounted tires on the satin black wheels on my 981. I assume that they must have had them in stock, because my car was not in the shop long when it was done.

I buy black wheel weights from Summit Racing and bring them in with me.
