Wheel Weight Usage

Locate the wheel weights on the inboard rim flange. If more than 28 grams (1 ounce) is needed during static balancing, split the weights as equally as possible between the inboard and outboard flanges.
Use special polyester-coated clip-on wheel weights in order to balance factory aluminum wheels. The weights are designated MC, and must be used on aluminum wheels having a wide, 7.6 mm (19/64 in) flange. Use a plastic tipped hammer in order to prevent damage to the weight's coating during installation.
Adhesive wheel weights are also available. Use the following procedure in order to install adhesive wheel weights:
1. Determine where the wheel weight is to be located on the inboard side of the wheel. Clean the area by sanding to bare aluminum. DO NOT sand the outboard side of the wheel as this will damage the clear coat finish.
2. Using a clean cloth or paper towel, wipe the sanded area with a mixture of half isopropyl alcohol and half water.
3. Dry the area with hot air until the wheel surface is warm to the touch.
4. Warm the adhesive backing on the wheel balance weight to room temperature.
5. Remove the tape from the back of the weight. Do not touch the adhesive tape.
6. Apply the wheel weight and press on with hand pressure
7. Secure the wheel weight with a 70 - 110 Nm (16-25 lb ft) force applied with a roller.
