Should these be on the outside of the wheel (hammered on) or on the inside of the wheel (stuck on) or doesn't it matter? |

I think the general rule is to have the sticky ones unless you got steel wheels mate

dont think it matters Paul,they can be hammered on the outside edge or can be back balanced(stuck on the inside rim). i always have em back balanced theres nowt worse than having big lumps of lead spoiling the look of your cars feet. |

that's what i was thinking as i have some nicer sstandard impreza wheels and ,as you say, having a big lump of lead is not pretty. Just that i take my car to Bathwick (cheapest price for my tyres) and they use the outer weights. |

I had mine done with stickys a while back and have lost some since... part of the sticky remains but the weight is gone! Maybe I left it on the drag strip at Pod last year! :lol: |
