Ugly wheel weights?
 

So I just got my tires mounted on black M310 and I just noticed the ugly silver wheel weights. They used the stick-on weights but balanced both inner and outer. The single stack looks fine but on one wheel there is a doublestack and it is a complete eyesore.

Is my only choice to take a sharpie to it?

i would use some alcohol to clean it, and use some enamel plastic model paint (use matte finish) to paint it. GL

tirerack uses black weights if you bring in dark wheels. :tup:

btw, make sure you dont get alcohol on the foam mounting tape. it can weaken the bond. just wipe off the weights.

My guess is that a Sharpie (or other marker) wouldn't be very UV-resistant and would quickly bleach out. I'd go with kenchan's suggestion to use some type of paint.

This may one of the cases where PlastiDip would be appropriate. YMMV

:mad:

ROFL Yeah. We do seem to disagree on matters of taste. I'll still buy you a drink if our paths ever cross. People who always agree with me get boring real quick. ;)

:icon17: :tup:

Ahh plastidip...forgot about that miracle in a can.

Btw. 19x9.5 20mm, 275/35, and swifts = rubbing :( Looks like I'm going to have to roll the front fenders.

sounds like you went to a cheap place. if they use a hunter road force balancer you should be able to have the wheels/tires balanced without stacking weights

I had it done at Goodyear. :(

Find a tire shop that has black weight. Mine was done in black.

Even with the Hunter road force balancer, you still need weights. But you can choose the tape-on or hammer-on weights with that machine.

agreed, but my point was that with that balancer, and a tech that knows what theyre doing, there should be absolutely no need to stack weights like what the OP had done.

Yea that's pretty crappy to stack them. Got mine done recently and they used the silver weights, even though the barrels are black :shakes head:

Go back and tell them to take the wheel and rotate it 180deg then rebalence it. It should get rid of some of the weight..;)
