They were very true as I watched them spin on the balancer. One wheel needed only .25 ounces of weight,two others only needed .25 on one side,and .50 on the other side. The fourth wheel needed .50 on one side,and .75 on the other. Unless you need date coded wheels,then these are the way to go verses warped,curbed,bent or the stretched out lug holes of some originals.


I looked for that Rustoleum paint this weekend. I did not find any aluminum silver that was flat - all was gloss. I was given a can of Rustoleum "Bright Coat" Metallic finish aluminum. Is that what you used?

Contrary to the opinions of some, I am not dumber than I look.
