Holy Wheel Weights Batman!

Cleaning up the OE wheels today. Came across this sight.

Don't know that I've ever seen this much weight put to a factory wheel/tire combo. Either the tire or wheel or the mounting location needed to be addressed before tacking this many weights to it.

At least half of those are due to TPMS sensor on the opposite side, but that is a bit excessive. All my wheels have at least 8 weights opposite the pressure sensor/tire valve

That's a good point about the TPMS... I never even thought about that being a factor!
