Default Wheel weights ?

I hate the look of the wheel weights on the front side of my rims. I want to switch to sticky weights, but am unsure of how close it will be to being balanced.

I have the stock speedline wheels, but there is a good 2 - 2.5 inches from the outside of the rim to the closest area for a sticky weight.

How do you guys with big lipped rims (3 or 4" Lips) keep them balanced without having ugly wheel weights messing up your look?

I own a tire shop. if the operator is good he can balance the wheel perfectly without using weights on the outside. it is usually my first mod when i buy a vehicle. bugs me to no end to see weights on the outside.

It's pretty simple just take it to a tire shop tell them what you want and wa la. The outside of your rims might a little scuffed from where the weights were at before. I have a 3 inch lip and mine are balance out. You should be fine.
