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?

In all fairness your search terms were pretty damn close. I wouldn't know what to look for either. It's one of those "damned if you do(ask) damned if you don't(don't learn what they are)" situations

There are no dumb questions just dumb threads. Stuff like this people need to learn that google is your friend.

Sometimes you just can't think of the right key words to search on Google.

So long as you tried. A lot of stuff is common knowledge to car people but it's the silly stuff, like wheel weights, that get overlooked cuz we've always known. To someone just learning it's tough when everything is so technical and the simple stuff is just assumed that you already know. Just do your best searching in the future and if that doesn't work then ask and there should be at least one person on here who will try to help. Ignore the rest. It's the same everywhere, not just here

Usually a Google search is very helpful to the novice, often even a link to a video tutorial.

Example: "What are Muffler Bearings ?"

I know the wheel weights have been identified...

But, for future searches. Google does not need "filler words" Also add specific descriptors. what kind of rims? = AUTO.

Example:
Your words: What are the square blocks on the inside of rims
try something more like: square blocks inside AUTO rims

What is the distinction between rims and wheels anyways? Is "rims" just the "cool"way to say wheel? Can't be a real distinction right?
