Hey guys,
Finally got my wheels (they are sweet). Will post pics once they are on, hopefully tomarrow. I had them mounted and balance where i ordered them. They used the little square weights attatched with what looks like double sided tape on the back side of the rim. These are my first set of aftermarket wheels and just making sure this is cool. I know they wouldn't used the typical weights that attatch to the front lip, that would be ugly, just wanna make sure they cant fly off. Also on one spot they have a few weights stuck right on top of a few others with that same tape. Just looking for some confidence on this.

Thanks in advance!!!

 

those are called weight tape or stick on weights. thats what they used to balance mine. you should not have any problems

 

Yeah, that is what a lot of shops use now.

 

Thanks guys for the fast replies. You guys and this website are the best.
One other question, Should all 4 wheels have the weights in the exact same spots?

 

Yeah its fine, they definately will not fall off.... Actually as the wheel turns it creates an outword force that pushes them more to it into the wheel, if that makes sense. From working at discount tire for a summer job I can also say from experience that stacking the weights is the most effective way of balancing correctly and efficiently as for it is of course more exact as to where the weight is placed. Only problem is some people say it looks bad....

 

No, every tire and wheel will have a slightly different heavy spot. I would mount the two tires with the least amount of balancing weights on the front.

 

Thanks again.
Guess i am just paranoid with the vibe thing. Knock on wood, I havent had a problem from day number one and am hoping my luck will continue when i put these on. Should have pics up tomarrow night. I am a manager at Walmart and will have the guys put them on before I leave tomarrow night.

 

tape weights are cool...my only issue is you should be careful with wheel cleaner as some may dissolve the adhesive of the tape..just a thought.
