Factory wheel balance... what's considered bad ?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi all 

 

This is my first post as I start into some personal mods on my month old Sierra. My first goal is to eliminate as much chrome as I can. I am starting with the wheel lug nuts as I got black spline drive lugs for my birthday. I stopped when I seen the balance weights on the wheels that made me say holly krap batman. Left front has a weight 1 inch wide by 3 inches long. Both rears have weights 1 inch by 2 inches and right front 1 inch by 1/4 inch. Somethings not right. Could be the rims possibly more likely the tires. Question is what's considered acceptable and what's not. I'm good with the front right but the other 3 seem a bit excessive. Anyone else have that much weight on there rims? I will say the weight they've installed has balanced the wheel assembly. they just look like doo doo on a shinny new wheel and there is this 3 inch long brake pad looking weight stuck on in the middle of a spoke opening. I tell ya that kind of stuff just does not happen in my industry. Just think for the kind of money we spend on these trucks they should look the part.

 

Thanks in advance
