Question Chrome Lightning Wheels

I will be getting some 18"Chrome Lightning Wheels soon. How did you balance the rims/tires? I definitely don't want the weights on the outside. Is there another solution to putting the big weights on the inside?

Thanks,
Blake

Any decent tire shop can put the tape weights on the inside of the rim for the outside wheel weights.
The inside rim weights would be the standard hammer on lip types.

Just ask the tire shops local to you about it.

They may need to buy them ( aka they don't usually carry them ) so you might need to give them a day or two to get them if they don't have them.

My silver L Rims, I just went with the regular rim mounted wheel weights, as there is not much room to hide the wheel weights on the face of the rim. Mostly open and I thought it would look worse then the lip mounted ones.

If you don't like that look, just ask the place you use for skins, they should be able to hook you up, just don't have wax on the wheels when you take them in.

they might be able to static balance them, if not, the weights on the inside will work.
