Wheels balanced from Wheel Max?

I was just going through all the packaging and plastic that my wheels came wrapped in and there are four weights(small and square) for what I assume are for balancing. I took a look at the outer edge of the wheels and don't see any weights there. THese were supposed to come balanced. I think I will take them in today to get balanced. What do you guys think?

did you check the inside of the wheels? My wheels dont have an outer edge to balance them so the weights are placed on the inside of the wheel. But if not id call those dirtbags and tell them to balance them for free since you paid for them already.

Looks like they were balanced on the inside but one problem....only two were balanced. The other two were off. I took it in to get checked out for some peace of mind. Issue resolved. Well partially. I need to call Wheel Max and complain about it. The wheels are pretty nice though. I got my Eibachs from adventon.com and will be posting the updated pics as some time next week.

A little ot, but related, I heard it is better to have the weights put on or near the middle rather than on the outside or inside.
