    Got wheel weights?

    I like to mount the tire 180 out when they take that much weight.

      38.5lbs at each corner, 15.5lbs per wheel.

      I don't understand your second sentence, I'm a little slow today.

        He means it's not normal to have to use so many weights, especially on new wheels/tires. A good idea is to rotate the position of the tire relative to the wheel.

          Are you planning to sell your old wheels? If so, I may be interested.

            Oh, that sentence made sense. Blame TireRack (I am, they took 4 weeks to ship these fuckers to me. Original quote was 10 days (even with the drilling they had to do).

            The AR wheels are already sold to Devon.

              Road force matcing: Matching a high spot on a rim with a low spot on a tire, to achieve the most round combination. Reduces vibration and wheel weights.

              Looks like it is coming right along

              Nice work!

                Also, may wanna line up the yellow dot on the sidewall to the valve stem if they aren't already.

                  Seriously though, I see 1.75oz there. Thats quite a bit.

                  I would call tirerack and complain, particularly if the other wheels are just as bad.

                    I'd make sure all the yellow dots are lined up to the valve stems before whining to TireRack though.

                      The dots don't mean shit. It varies from tire manufacture.
