Wheel weights...to balance them

Wheel weights used for balance.

Woh there buddy,
Not sure if trolling or ....you know.....;)


How about I play a little game.
Are you under 20?
Single child?
Both parents still in the picture?
Google much?
Are you a female?

You don't have to answer but.... You know ;)

They are wieghts for wheel balancing. There are two types. Those you are wondering about and ones that crimp on the lip of the rim.

"What are these square tiles on the inside of the rims?"


That's how the Federal Govt. gets a hold of you ...if your phone locator is turned off.

It allows them to weigh in.

You can just take those things off..... less unsprung weight.

In fact it probably makes a bigger difference in the 1/4 mi than a Light Weight crank pulley.

They're an eyesore so I usually peel them off

Google exactly.. what?!

"What are the square tiles on the inside of rims" - nothing
"What are the square blocks on the inside of rims" nothing

Google is only so handy when you know what you want to research. Seems like you're the one constantly trolling my threads with negativity.

Anyways, Mr.Google expert, what exactly should I have typed in to get the answer I was looking for?

"metal squares inside car wheel"

Google is pretty smart if you only give it the relevant key words.

Woh, hold on there batman.

You call that trollin? Woh. Has the bar been lowered, if so I never got the memo.

I didn't mean to come off "negative" but if I replied to more than on post of yours I didn't mean to target only you. In fact I had no idea I replied to your other posts.

But really, it's a silly question a child asks. Thus my lame attempt of making jokes about answering questions. Or......your really freaking high. Sometimes I been guilty of that. Drunken post are fair game.

But in all fairness just like in the corporate job market "there is never a stupid question".
You'll just end up as the guy that asked them.

Funny thing now is that if you google "what are the square tiles on the inside of rims" this thread is the first search result.
