Those little lead weights they tap on the rim of the wheel or is there something else? What's stick on? An do all shops do stick ons? I would Hate to put on little lead weights on chrome rims espcially if the show!

which are stuck to the wheel in an unobtrusive spot.
If you look at the stock rims which come on your C6,
you'll see them.

Balancing wheels
All the C-6 wheels I have seen from the factory have those stick on weights in very clear view inside the front edge. I saw one that had 14 weights on the left front wheel and it looked like "dukey"! For one of you gearheads, why don't you event a new way to balance these high performance wheel/tire setups that doesn't show. There is a challenge for someone, you might make some money too!
