Alloys and balance weights

[thebrighton]

Just had 4 new tyres fitted to my black alloys so what could the problem possibly be? Bright silver balance weights gleaming between the spokes. Aaaaargh!

Paint them black!  'Simples'.

I know but just a pain having to go and buy paint, brush and fiddle about doing it.

First world problem, my wheels and balance weights are the exact same brake dust colour!

When I got my car's alloy winter wheels recoated in a "pleasant" shade of grey/gun metal, I was quite surprised to see that they fitted dark coloured balance weights.

 

But yes, very easy to sort out as I tend to do with any silver coloured wheels when "touching them up" after removing them from the car at the end of Summer or the end of Winter - even the silver coloured ones change colour over time!
