A high speed computerized balancer will tell the kid exactly where to glue 
the weights. Likely, they will be more-or-less on the wheel centerline, 
inside on the flat area near the center- not on the edge and not on the outside 
where they're visible. He should have a light hammer to bend the flat 
weights into a curve matching the wheel curvature for best adhesion. All you need 
to do afterwards is run a couple of layers of duct tape over the top of the 
glued weights to keep water and road-trash from deteriorating the foam glue 
strips. Good luck- J DeRyke
