| Is each oem rim supposed to have wheel weights? We brushed up on a curb and I noticed an area on the rim that looks like there should have been a wheel weight there? Does it even matter if they are on or not? Are they easily replacable, via dealer? Please help because I am anal and am freaking out! |

If the other rims have outside balance weights, and the one you've rubbed is missing one, it's likely there was one on there. (some rims don't take external weights, so that's why a visual check of the others is good first) Sometimes if little to no weight is needed for balancing, it won't be there or they may sometimes but a 1/4 oz one on there just to confirm visually that it was balanced. Regardless, it might be good to bring it to a local tire shop or the dealer to check the spin balance on the wheel. The way to tell if there's aproblem is if you get vibration while at highway speeds that wasn't there before.

| Re-balancing will not drain all your savings (cost between $20 and $40 for all four with rotation) For peace of mind get them checked. Dealer or tire shop has all the necessary equipment. |
