Hello All,

A quick question. Does this look right? My other wheel weights look normal, but this one has me confused. Maybe it’s all the weight it needed, but I figured I would ask.

Thank you.

Is there a reason for going with the rim edge weights?

These days I always request the stick on variety "rectangle" weights, that stick to the inner surface of the wheel. Reason being they might be less likely to dislodge with a rock hit, and don't show as much.

It looks like that is just the clip part of the wheel weight with the actual heavy weight part missing. I doubt that it weighs enough to do any balancing.

HI
These glued weights are available in several colors to match the color of the wheels.

It’s a 1/4 oz weight, that’s just how they look.

The BD steelies have the weights on the outside. Not sure why. I guess to look like the old wheels.
