Merchants/NTB (run by the same corporation even though different names and setups) has sticky weights available. Just make sure you tell the person at the counter that u want them to use sticky weights when balancing ur wheels.

yeah...i use them..just dont tell me to mount wheels..i can balance sticky weights fine. ehh..i suggest you go to a performance shop if you have really really really reallly really really really expensive rims.

problem with static balancing compared to dynamic (hammer on) weights is that its not as accurate so expect a lil vibration, we all cant be perfect.

Or if you have a back lip on the wheel, you can do combination, hammer on weight on the back and sticky weights near the spokes/front lip.

Either way, depends on how you want your wheels done
