[DeTomaso] tire balance question

I may have missed what wheels and brakes you are using.  The weights sometimes can/should go on the outside for a proper balance but allot of people don't like that for cosmetic reason.  Big Wilwood calipers will fit inside the stock Campy wheels but
are very close and will scrape a weight off, so be aware of that also.  Once they are installed I do seal them but I use just a
small bead of clear silicone sealer.  Hope that helps.
