does it matter if the wheel weights were placed on the inside edge of the wheel? i was looking through the helm manual and it says that our wheels are designed to have the weights placed right behind the spokes of the wheel. some of my wheel weights are on the inside, some are on the outside edge.

 

Theres supose to be weights on the inside edge and outter edge behind the spokes. If theres no wheel weight on the outside edge behind the spokes then you either didnt need it, or the shop only did static balancing on your tires and not dynamic balancing. Do all 4 wheels only have weights on the inside edge and none on the outside?

 

they have weights on both edges, but the helm manual specifically says to put weights on the edge closest to the spokes. thats why i'm confused

 

IIRC you cannot clip on a weight onto the front of any of the OEM wheels, that is why there are tape weights on the inside. as for placement, the should be weights as close to the spokes on the inside and weights close to the edge on the opposite side. the amount of weights will be determined by the tire, wheel and the assembly of it.

 

i am not talking about clip weights... i have stick weights near the spokes and away from the spokes on all 4 wheels. the helm manual says to only put weights on the near side to the spokes.

 

it depends on where you got them balanced and what machine they used to determine where to put the weights. Does the car vibrate when you drive it?

 

oh, i see. well having weight placed in two locations that is a better balance than having the weights in only one spot. dynamic balancing > static like mrfixit stated.

 

oh okay.. just making sure thats how it should be. i did have a vibrating problem after the track and in socal, but norcal traffic is so slow i cant even get to those speeds. <80 and the vibration isnt there. i'm not sure if its the weights or what. i'm thinking some could have fallen off at the track

 

The helm manual is not a bible. Read up on Hunter dynamic and road force balancing.

 

oh.. now that i think about it, it was road force balanced with the new hunter machine lol. i'm pretty sure a weight must have fallen off. i guess i'll get it redone

thanks
