Looking for advanced wheel balancing
Hi, I just got my AMG wheels powered coated black and I am looking for someone who can balance them by putting the ugly stick on weights behind the wheel spokes so that they don't show as much...I am in SoCal and any suggestions are highly appreciated.

Thank you

Unfortunately there are 2 types of balance, static and dynamic. With static you can place the weights inside. With dynamic you need to place weights that counter act the side to side imbalance always present in tires. Therefore, you need at least 2 weights one inside and one outside.
