I just did a DIY paint job on my fat 5's today.

Before doing it i took a little black touch-up and marked on the tires where the weights go back on.

My concern is when I put them back on that it will scratch up my paint!!!

I have seen balancing wieghts on the inside of rims but can that be done in my case with the fat 5s or am i stuck with the clip ons? any advise if i am stuck with them?

I don't want to have to repaint and touch up everytime I get new tires.

PS. this topic is posted here cause I own a teg and I am not authorized to post in the wheels forum. i would have gladly have put it there.

 

Just have them balanced with adhesive weights.

 

can you do that with fat 5s?

 

yes, they just put the weight on the inside of the wheel rather than the outer lip.

 

hmm sorry this is kinda off topic but wen i got my new tires on they didnt put the weight on my left rear rims but the rest has it..is it a bad thing to not have it? ive been rollin like that for a while now

 

It might've been perfectly balanced, you can rotate the tire on the wheel and sometimes get them perfect.

 

Just take the wheels to a tire shop and ask them to rebalance it with the weights on the inside.

 

ok if you don't know what they are for the start your own post NEWB! or how about searching on the web. BUT DON'T HIJACK MY THREAD!!!
