Balancing wheels without scratching?

[joeseinfeld]

Just wondering, before i go to get my wheels balanced, how can you get the weights on the lips without scratching them?

Don't wanna go get tires fitted on my new wheels and have the shop bang them on with a hammer kill my nice polished lips!

cheers guys

have them static balance the wheels and only use sticky weights on the inside

cheers!

those bang on weights are old school, all wheels i've had balanced of late use stick on weights inside the barrel for sure

lol i got wheels balanced about 18 months ago and they smashed those weights on with a hammer... stock wheels so didn't care, but I must be going to the wrong places then

If they have lip just have them put the weights on behind the face. If they say they can't go somewhere else it's just a setting for the balancer
