Get them rebalanced and tell them to put the weights on the inside of rim. Looks cleaner and keeps the rust down in the near future.

It would look a lot cleaner if they would put equal weights on. Not two different sizes and another in a different spot. At least they were nice enough to put coated weights on. haha

Default Balanced, properly, this time
Ok, got her rebalanced today. Unfortunately(as seen in another post in here where I asked a ?) They told me the only way to properly balance these rims is with weights on both sides, but this time it looks a hell of a lot better.

Before and after:

They're wrong. Find a shop that has a laser guided balancer. They use sticky weights that go on the inside of the rim and compensates for being further inside the wheel.

Tel them to order you some dynabeads I'm running them in mine and honestly I don't know why they balance tires any other way. 4 dollars a tire, so like 20 bucks will get rid of those weights. Also the dynabeads keep the tires balanced at any speed. Completely and totally worth the extra money , also helps your tires wear alot more evenly, especially if you're running mud tires like me

Also if they don't have them order them from the website, have the clip weights taken off, and put then in yourself. They come in a bag that you just throw bag and all in and the bag breaks down and releases the beads
