Default Wheel balancing weights.....where do you have yours placed?
So, I'm gonna get my rear wheels (Speedline Aliseo's) soon. Will mount and balance them, but just wondering if you guys have the shop place the outer weights on the outside, visible lip, or on the inside so the weights don't show.

So, Let's hear your preference

thanks.
