Should be on every wheel of every car you own. May look slightly different but the same. They can be removed and reapplied if you remember where they went exactly. Or you'll have to be rebalanced.

LMAO.... Sorry... Hey do you know how to change a flat tire? Check your oil? Perhaps replace the blinker fluid this weekend. Mike

OP, they're just busting your balls. That's not a wheel weight, it's a Fetzer valve. Standard on all German made cast wheels. Easy to replace.

Even more, when you change tire, the weight is removed and the wheel has to get rebalanced. So best not consider it to be a fixed attribute to the rim, it's supposed to be removed and a new one with another weight will get attached on another place on the rim when you change tires.

Alright I give in. This was supposed to be an easy question/answer post. Im new to this forum, didn't realize it's this kind of forum. Lesson learned. I do appreciate the initial posters boredM and Maverik259 for their responses.
I live in the west coast and have always leased my cars. Cars have been mini vans or station wagons for the family and leased for less than 3 years at a time. So this is my first fun car. Never modded or had to worry about changing rims or re balancing before. I'm learning! Btw I did preface in my post that it's gonna be a stupid question. Alright that should be enough fuel for you guys. Let the flames begin!!! |

If you have your wheels powder coated, tires and wheel weights will have to be removed. Then, obviously will have to be rebalanced after the tires are remounted.
This can be a helpful forum, but like anything on the internet, you have to have thick skin and not take things personally. Honestly, I thought you got off pretty lightly. I can't think of a single adult I would know that drives a car that wouldn't know what wheel weights are. But, maybe you're a prodigy concert pianist, or a genius neurosurgeon and live in a world where you were never exposed to such mundane things such as wheel weights. We all have our own unique talents and blind spots. Anyway, who is doing your powder coating? Is it a shop that will take care of everything, or are you going to have to get the tires dismounted and just take them wheels?
