I found four little flat metal pieces on the rear left mag on the inside and i was wondering what it was. It says 7 grams on each one.Anyone have any ideas. thanks.

 

weights, to balance the wheel/tire

 

LOL

Those wheel must be defective!!
Buy new ones, and toss those on the trash heap because they are way out of spec.

Have you checked the other wheels?

 

they are junk, send the wheels to me

 

Thats what I thought it might be, to balance the wheel. That was the only wheel with it.

each wheel is different, hence them not all having weights

 

It's a tracking device........

 

they are called tape weights

 

kinda weird they're only on one wheel, are you sure they aren't on the inside edge of the others? or maybe they have hammer-on lip weights? i doubt 3 of your 4 wheels were naturally balanced....that'd be crazy

 

It is interesting.
My new SSR/032R set has a wide divergence of weights (from barely 1/4 oz on one to almost 2 1/4 on the worst).

Go figure.
I wasn't exactly happy seeing that on new/fresh wheels/tires.
On the other hand, they seemed perfectly fine/balanced.
