It=E2=80=99s been a long time since I got out of the tire business, but even=
 20 years ago, there were a lot of different alloy rim weight styles, for di=
fferent profiles of wheels.  I expect it=E2=80=99s more complicated now. Are=
 you using the right one? =20


I second the recommendation for stick on weights.  Clean the rim well before=
 you put them on, and they should stay on a long time.=20
