I have just recently got my wheels back from powdercoating. So, I went to tireplus and got some new tires for my wheels. However, I found these little silver weights on the inside of each wheel. I'm just wondering what those weights are and what do they do?

 

I hope you mean balance weights. All wheels have to have them somewhere. If not on the outside of the rim, then glued to the inside.

 

They are there to stop excessive wheel vibration when you are driving the car.

 

WOW just WOW, hopefully you are just the driver.

 

i can't u drive an evo and don't even know what that is. Pretty sad.

 

They are simply weights applied with adhesive to balance the wheel so you don't get vibration when driving.

 

At least they mounted them on the insides. The stupid mitsu factory put them on the outside on all cars. You could also use the stick on kinds. They just end up falling off after time though.

 

man o man.... they're letting anyone have an Evo these days.

 

I thought they reduced drag and gave me an extra 1/10 in the 1/4.

 

i would take them off. they are designed to slow you down. the government started it to help keep street racing down. just take them off

 

try eating them!

maybe the guys at tireplus just stored the latest in Japanese gum there?

 

They are candy, just take them off and eat them.....

 

Why do you think they're weights???

 

those are balancing weights

 

now what is this cat goes and do this oh man,
