If more than 85 grams (3 ounces) are needed to static balance (2) the wheel. Split the wheel weights as equally as possible between the inboard and the outboard flanges.

Balancing the assemblies with factory aluminum wheels requires the use of special nylon-coated, clip-on wheel weights (1). These weights are designed to fit over the thicker rim flange of the aluminum wheel. Install these weights with a plastic-tipped hammer.

Adhesive wheel weights are also available. Use the following procedure to install adhesive wheel weights.
