OH NOES! What is seen cannot be unseen...

Just noticed that the wheel balance weights are clearly visible. The design of the rims doesn't provide an incognito area to adhere the weights.

Not my car, but in this photo you can clearly see them in the lower right.

For a smooth ride at 100+ KPH, I'll tolerate looking at the weights.

But, but, the looks man! It doesn't look right! I don't care if my wheels shake until they separate from the rest of the car, I don't want to see the weeeeeeights!

@tzhu07 I know what you mean...they do kind of stick out like a sore thumb. If it really bothers you, take the wheel off, and hit the weights with some flat black paint. At a quick glance, they won't even be noticeable.
