lol I was waiting on someone to say it. My car is basically a garage queen without the garage. It sits outside for a weeks at a time so it gets dusty. Didn't have a chance to clean the car before I got the tires installed. I'm sure the dusty shop didnt help either lol

I know from years of balancing some nicer machines have a option to designate the spokes of the wheel, and it will try to put the weights behind the spokes.

I've been aware that such capability exists for a while. Curious to find out how good of a job they can do.

Stock weight from the factory are Black. They should have used black weights.
You can always go over it with a black Sharpie.

It's worth it. I had my rims powder coated a couple months ago. When I took the rims and new tires to my dealer for mount/balance I was disappointed with the weights. They said they would re-balance them in a couple days for no charge once they got this new machine online. The weights are mostly hidden behind the spokes (a couple placements are stacked) and they even took a black sharpie to them for me.
