sorry for such a newb question but these are my first pair of rims. I figured the evo community would be more mature and helpful but I guess wrong. Sounds like a honda forum up in here... Anyways, thanks for the help for those who did.

If your wheels are black and you dont like the fact that you can see the weights cover them with black duct tape.

Keep the weights on as others have said; they're important and are there to keep the balance of the wheel.

For future reference, ask the shop to use sticky weights and hide them on the inside of the wheel if possible.

if you take the weights off, the wheels would wobble at high speeds

Jeez, some harsh responses. Yay for forum ePeen!

To the OP, you may want to consult the regular, "safe" internet for general questions like this in the future. Can be a tough crowd in here sometimes.

I can believe you have no friends that you could of asked this question to or even the tech that balanced them. Dont get mad when you get flamed for asking a question like this. ALL wheels requires weights to balance them. I could not believe what I was reading.........
