So, do you have a problem with tire shops trying to put inside knock-on balance weights on the backside of your rims and then have them rub against the struts like I do? What is with shops trying to put knock-on weights on alloy rims? I don't know how many times I have dropped off the car at various shops and told them to use adhesive weights inside the rim and find knock-on weights on my car when I come back. However, it IS funny to see the look on the guys face when I let him listen to the "tink, tink, tink" everytime the weight rubs the strut as the tire turns and give him that "I told you so" look.
