Default Weight for it.....

These are something all of you will need some day. After some searching and trial and error, I finally found these amazing wheel weights. If you have ever tried to remove old weights,
you will understand why I call these amazing. Not only do they
look great, are powder coated and come in colors, but they
actually come off and leave nothing behind! The brand is
Hofmann and they are only sold by carid.com, they cost a little more, but you get what you pay for.

Read a forum post some time ago about a repaired flat on a C7 that was balanced with silver colored weights on their black wheels. Bought black weights so if I have a flat or when needing new tires I'll have matching colored weights for my black wheels! Keep them in the rear compartment. Pays to be prepared and not expect the tire store or dealer to have black weights to match those you have on your black wheels.

With shipping, CarID direct is slightly cheaper than their eBay listing (at least for my location).

Just remember what Tom Petty said

Weighting is the hardest part
