Hi, is it possible to balance tires without putting weights on the outside of the rims? I have painted rims and don't want ugly tire weights all over the outside of my rims. Weights on the inner side of the rim are fine. Thanks

simple answer...YES

Thanks!

This was my second 'mod'. I had the wheels rotated and rebalanced at 6000 miles with the weights on the inside. $25. Just ask your local tire shop.

My wheels come from tirerack with those sticking weights. You can't just have weight on the inside if the outside is not balanced. But they definitely can put those sticking weight on instead of those ugly lead weight that destroy your wheels.

Yes...They are sticky weights, like someone said.

I would however warn you about them. Alot of times they are very hard to get a good balance from them. I have used them but usually have to go back to my mech. several times for him to get it right.(Well not anymore but I did the first couple times he did them)

Just watch them do it, that way you know how close to 0 he is getting them?(on the machine that is)

Hope that helps,

Justin
