just realized discount tire put exterior wheel weights on my wheels

wtf? why would they do that without asking?

 

Better yet, don't they know that Washington outlawed them?

 

they look like this wtf???

 

seriously?? LOL

 

looks liek they just outlawed weights with "lead" in them.

 

That looks like crap!! I would take it back and have them do it right!!!

 

Because that's the "standard" way to balance them....Inside and Outside weights so you don't end up with a big huge bar like that photo on the outside. I just re read and have to ask- Is that your wheel or just a random photo?? Cause that looks like a LOT of weight to me...and it's loose on the ends.

I always special request static balancing (inside the wheel). I'm thinkin about trying the equal balancing too...

 

That sucks ...

 

its just a random photo.

 

i dont understand. on my previous tacoma they didnt do this. i had the same wheel and tire set up.

 

i mean its not that big of a deal, it rides nice and straight i guess thats all that matters lol

 

If you drive fast enough I bet nobody can see them...

 

Because they're IDIOTS. NTB is NO Better! They lost my center cap and I made them buy me a new one.

Got 2 weeks off? Go get tires!

 

LOL. That's hilarious. I've done two weights before but never THAT many!

BTW, take that thing back and have discounttire fix it. That's bogus to put weights on the outside. They are alloy wheels!

 

you can still "dynamic" balance with a hammer on weight on the inside and a stick on weight near the spokes which will produce better results overall. A "static" balance would only counter a "vertical" imbalance. A dymanic balance will counter a "wobble " and a "vertical" imbalance.

 

that looks like my mom's old grand prix. turns out she had a bad wheel.

 

Separate weights on the inside and outside of the rim are sometimes necessary to get a proper dynamic balance, to eliminate side wobble.

 

My 2010 came with weights on the outside from the dealer.

 

Holy balls that's insane
