I exclusively use stick-on weights on the inside of the wheel, and use the r=
acers=E2=80=99 trick of covering them with duct tape, the silver foil type w=
ith the peel off backing. My balancer gives me choices for static or dynamic=
 balance locations but mostly use static around the inside center of the rim=
 width. Not an original idea. SASCO Motorsports, from whom I purchase my rac=
e tires, does them this way. I do this on alloy, steel and wire wheels. I do=
 first clean the surface where the weights will go.
