Balancing wheels?

87supraturbo · 12-17-2005, 07:28 AM

Hey I'm looking to invest in some nice rims for my supra soon and i was just wondering about balancing them. When i get them balanced with they have those ugly weights sticking on the outside or does anyone know if theres a way to avoid the weights on the outside?

Thanks,

Matt

with nice rims they can install stick on weights on the inside of the rim so the ugly ones wont show, you can some time see the stick on ones throu the rim, but you gotta deal with it, wheel weights are a must.

Very rarely,probably never will you see wheelweights on the outside of aftermarket rims cause the lip on aftermarket rims arent made to have wheelweights on them.They will put the weights on the inside lip of the rim or use ''sticky weights''.You may see them from the inside but you try riding on unbalanced rims and see if ya like it.See ya.
