wheel balancing weight available? When they did my new wheels, the "low profile" weights they used were removed by the brake calipers.
thanks.

Contact John at CCW he will hook you up. He has weights that are low profile and also chromed so they look great.
Maybe have Jessie contact him I know they know each other well

Yes there are real low profile stick on weights, infact the ones that CCW used on my car were polished, no more than 1/4 high.

The ones that Xtreme Motorsports used when I bought my wheel/tire package from them were very low profile - no problems hitting the caliper. So I know they make them out there. Maybe a shop that deals with high end custom wheels could help you out.
