haha, ya, what he said.

Basically, once you put the tire on, it makes it not balanced. All tires are slightly different in where most of their weight is, it requires different weighted weights on different places on the wheel for each wheel.

Yea I know they were weights to balance them but just didnt know if it was normal for the IX wheels to all have different weights. My Stock 8 Wheels all had the same Weights. So I had to find out. Thanks guys.

Its the tires that throw off the balance more than the wheels themselves.

I got MR bbs rims. 3 of them have different weights. The 4th rim has no weight on it at all.

btw, anyone know how to take off the weights from the rims?

Question: Why?

If you really have to there is a special plier to remove weights.
