Default Stock Wheel Weight Replacement

Long story short, I installed the RR-Racing front BBK and they took the wheel weights off my stock 18" F Sport wheels when I drove away after install. Need advice on what kind of replacement wheel weights t9 buy, and where to place them so this doesn't happen again. Thoughts?

This is not something you can just stick back on. You’ll have to get those wheels rebalanced. Perhaps getting bigger wheels. Understand that the weights on the wheel are there to balance the wheel and tire assembly. In turn, you do not have a horrible shaking effect from the wheels. Similar to if you swing your keys if it’s on a lanyard.

Your best bet is to have your local tire shop, dealer, or tuner shop to balance them and ensure it clears the brakes. Providing that there is some clearance, it is possible to balance them by creative weight placement.

Go some place like Goodyear tire service or Firestone or any other local tire shop. Any local mechanic with a decent shop can do it for you too. Ask for a roadforce wheel balance it should cost about $20 per wheel some times less some times more.
