I've just had my 18" wheels refurbed (powder coated}. There wasn't any damage so no real need for specific repair or filling, just a few years old and some corrosion on the inside of the wheel. I also supplied some new falkens to be fitted at the same time.
Anyway. Wheels refurbed, tyres on. Pleased with the refurb itself. However I notice some balance issue. Then when I look at each tyre in all cases they have located the yellow dot-the light spot of the tyre, with the valve-the heavy spot of the wheel which makes sense.. However I look at my passenger side rear wheel. All the weights are in the vicinity of the valve and the yellow dot.. Implying this is the light spot of the wheel also there is approx 110g of weights. I was thinking that best thing would be for them to rotate 180degrees and move the light spot (yellow dot) to opposite side which should then mean less weights required. It's the same on all the other wheels but with less weights (I. E. 50g or whatever)... All weights placed at the valve and where the yellow dot is. They've disregarded the red dots by the look of it. Any thoughts?
