Default Wheel question

I have the premium aluminum wheels on my GT (as seen in sig), but I'm thinking about swapping to the Bullits. I like the current wheels ok, but the Bullits just look extra sharp to me. My question is about the balancing weights. On mine they are the typical ones that clip on the rim, which in my experience inevitably scratches the wheels. So are the Bullits the kind of wheels that use the flat weights on the inside of the wheel? If so I definitely will swap out for those.

No, we have the same weights as on the "Premium" rims. My car came with premiums and I had them swapped off a Roush for my Bullits. I love them.

any tire dealer can balance using stick on weights if you don't want the clamp on weights.

I too have the same wheels and was going to ask a similar question, but you beat me to it.
I ordered these Ford Racing Silver Bullitts ($130 per wheel) at my local Ford. Hopefully they'll be in soon.
I can't wait!

RedHot05GT,
This is a follow up to your "wheel question" post.
I just got my Ford Racing Bullitt wheels installed and noticed that they put the balancing weights on the inside of the wheel.
I'm not sure how they do it on other after market Bullitt rims, but hopefully its the same.
