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.

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=

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
