Default Draglite wheel ???

I recently bought a used set of Draglites and I noticed there's no weights on the wheels. Do these wheels need to be balanced?
Probably a stupid ???

Any wheel/tire combo should be balanced! Make sure you have them static balanced, That means the weights go on the inside only.

That's the right way. Make sure you ask around to find a shop that has experience balancing these wheels. There is only one place around me that i will take mine too.

Thanks guys. I just thought it was odd that there were not any weights on the wheels.

Before you do anything try to bolt upthe front wheels....if your 5 lug you might have to swap the rotors or....some of them are lame and the wheels dont fit or might have to spacers to clear your calipers.....LOL.....

The wheels fit the car just fine. They are 4-lug.
