Question on balancing Bogarts.

Ok, I have all four of my wheels now. Sent them to get mounted and balanced. I asked to have the weights as far back as possible. Well all but one still hit the calipers. Are you guys having hammer on weights used in the back or what are you doing. The said if I had any problems then they would use hammer on weights in back, but that isn't the best way to balance a wheel which I can understand. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I need to get this done ASAP. Thanks, -Mat-

Yes I used hammer on weights on the back side of my rims. Then I used the silver metal duct tape to hold them on better.

Matt I must have misunderstood your question

I run weights on both side of my rims, but I used the bang on weights.

Just make sure they use the right bang on weights, since it is a thin rim.
