Question Wheel Balancing weights.

Thought about starting a poll to see if I have the most on any one wheel...25 of the little ones all in a neat little row on my left rear. This is the way it came to me new with no rotation or subsequent balancing as yet. 25!!!!!

that's 4.25 ounces of weight - not uncommon for some cars but is a bit much for these wheels and tires. i would have your wheels and tires balanced and road forced on a hunter gsp9700.

you can find a shop with a gsp9700 at www.gsp9700.com

the tire and the rim may not be in sync with one another... the tire may need to be rotated on the wheel.

But why would it come from the factory with this many weights? The most on the other 3 is 12! I will get them rotated and balanced within a month or so.
