Counterweight fell off inside of rim? need assistance!

Hey guys,

While cleaning my garage, I noticed that the counterweights used to balance the rim/ tires before mounting, fell off one my aftermarket rims and was on my garage floor. Do I need to get my wheels balanced again?

You can drive your car at around 50-60 MPH and see if there is any vibration.


Maybe the Tire shop you went to the 1st time will do it for free again since they didn't stick on the wheel well enough.

I am going to check with the tire shop first thing Monday, real PITA, I dont understand why it could not be done right the first time, but I will make sure to check and see if I feel vibration at highspeeds,

thanks xenonhid

In order for sticky weights to stay on, you have to clean the inside of the wheel first. They may not have done that and with the heat of the brake discs, it just peeled off.
