    Do you have the original stock/OEM aluminum valve stems with the brass diamond checkered side grips and an outward dimple in the middle caps?
    I think the stems are OEM but the caps have been changed. Anyway, I got the tire remounted today. They balanced it but looks like the weights are not made to fit our wheels. Wish I could find a place that places stick on weights in the inner part of the wheel. It looks like there were some stick on weights in there before.

    Yeah, I insist on the hidden stick on weights on D wheels

    I ordered some lead stick on wheel weights. I plan to use the existing clip weight locations to calculate how much and where to stick on these weights and remove those ugly clip type.

    It's hard to find lead weights these days but I don't want rusting steel weights.
