Wheel Weight Placement; WTH!? :|

[dbs600]

Had dealer install two new wheels and four new tires; asked for road force balancing and tipped tech $20 before work to ensure quality.

Get this stupid wheel weight placement back!

Is this normal / acceptable wheel weight placement?

Weights affixed side to side, and also stacked on top of each other!?

Never seen anything like this before.

Additionally… I don’t feel that proper road force balancing was completed because afterwards I asked the tech if he moved the tire around and he said no; that same would’ve required him to let the air out! I’m like wtf.

Doesn’t road force balancing = match mounting?

Also upset that the ones side to side aren’t even in alignment with each other, and that on the old wheel the adhesive wasn’t sufficiently removed / area cleaned before new weight placement.

Please advise with some insight.

Thank you.

If was road force match mount balanced, wouldn't fewer weights have been required!? This is a massive amount of weights for a new wheel and tire.

Also, stacking weights...? Shouldn't they have heavier weights to use as well, need be?

I'm sorry, but I don't understand what you mean. Please clarify. Thank you very much!

I think the wheel balancing machine was fucked up
