tire weights

[suspekAE]

I saw this in the new issue of car action.

Get some stick on lead weights from the LHS (I think they're used for planes), I got some made from GreatPlanes. They come in sticks that you can break apart in sections of 7g. Puttin them on the backside of the rim, I was able to add 56 grams to each wheel using only a little space, and I'm still able to run the shaped foams in the tires.

Hope this was of some use to ya'. I helped me...Also, I only added weight to the front wheels.

There's some on the board that use that method. It's gaining popularity....

theres alot of ways to add weight to the rims i used the lead stick ones from a auto tire garage.only tip i can give you is to run tape over the top of them around the wheel just in case they come loose.
