I have just ordered some wheels and have arranged for them to be powder coated, as the picture to the left but I was wondering when they are balanced wont you see the lead weights against the colour? Or is there away around this

Thanks Very Much

Phil

Balancing machines can be set to use different locations to mount the weights not just the rim edge. So, depending on the design the weights can be behind the spokes. Obviously stick on weights are needed - you could even paint the weights if they can't be being the centre.

thanks panic over

My wheel weights are on the inside of the rim so you can't see them

A properly dynamically wheel will have weights on both the inside and outside rim edges --- However a lot of the time particularly on cars which don't have strut suspension you can get away with just doing a static balance and putting stick on weights on the inside surface of the wheel.
