What rims... like real rims or steelies. Anyone can do steelies, like Canadian tire or walmart, or whatever... but aluminium rims can only be done at a good wheel shop cuz the weights are different. Stick them on the inside rather than the lip.

Nope... not unless you want a weight on the lip of your rim. Or call them out and see if they have stick on weights. Or just go to a rim shop.

What do you mean??? I sold my used rims to a very nice lady, and she LOVES them... not everyone that sells their parts is a crook I think she got a great deal buying my old rims.

LOL, I was just saying... don't give sellers a bad name on here. If you don't trust them or the rims look shoddy, should have had them balanced before you bought them, and have the seller split the balancing with you.

gatherer, tires can lose their belts, where you get belt shift, lose their weights, get flatspotted, and the rims can get curbed, cracked, bent, dented from potholes, curbs, and sometimes poor manufacturing. I think your rims are small and don't have that problem...
