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.

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.
