wheel weights?

I will shortly be switching from painted rims to chrome. Currently my painted ones have the standard wheel weights that are crimped on the lip of the rim. In looking at other "chromies", I see that some still use the "crimp-on" style while others use the stick-on square weights. Any opinions on which is better??????

Stick on!!! You might lose one (unlikely) once in a while but its a hell of a lot better than chewing up the lip of your wheel with the crimp ons.

Go with the stick on square weights to the inside of the rim and spokes. Much cleaner look and if done properly, the tires will be balanced perfectly.
