if the weights are not like inline, and next to eachother, but spread all over, and opposite, than it is not balanced correctly... think about it, (look at the wheel as a clock) if you have weight at 6 oclock, and weight at 12 oclock, you defeated the purpose of having the weight there in the first place bc they cancel each other out..

i dunno if you can understand this without seeing it in person.. it will just make it more noticable

Inside and outside(towards the inside of the lip and towards the backside near the tire) of the wheel is normal.

The place I got my 37's balanced at before used sanfbags. They did OK from what i could tell, definitely not the best option though.

ya pimprohr.. thats what im saying.. but if on the inside, you have weights scattered, its pointless.. and there is also the option of tape weights on the dish/barrel of the wheel..
