[DeTomaso] Weights for wheel balance on Magnesium

[Guido deTomaso]

Stick on weights.  I tell the tire guy to place them where they'll do the most good, even if it's the hubcap side.  Cover with foil tape to keep from falling off + adds a "full race" look.  Wash / clean the mounting surface first b/c the tire guy won't.
Lead weights illegal now in the land of the free, start hoarding now if you can find.  The replacements, zinc(?), are huge and might hit your suspension.  Lead can be flattened for more suspension clearance, zinc not so much.
Thanks,
GD

  Hi all
  I'm pretty sure I've read recommendations in this list regarding proper
  installation of the weights added during wheel balancing, but I don't
  remember what they were.A
  Are there special considerations that should be taken into account when
  balancing a magnesium rim and associated tire so as not to damage the
  magnesium?
  Thank you!
