Looking for recomendation - black wheel weights
Since I am changing tires in the very near future, I would like to put black wheel weight on the wheels instead of the silver.
I have black gorilla lugs and would like to do black valve stem as well. Anyone do this yet? |

I used black touchup paint on my wheel weights, and by the way.... there were two "Discount Tire" employees putting on my new tires. One of the two used a screwdriver to remove the old wheel weights and gouged my wheels. Be sure you ask the installers not to make that same mistake on yours!

My tire Kingdom has Black Wheel Weights. Check with your local tire installers.

I am going to a fellow Camaro5 member IDEALG who owns Ideal Garage in Fords NJ.
He only had the silver weights when I was there. |

Black wheel weights never crossed my mind. Guess I'll be braking out some black paint or a sharpie to make my black now. Great idea.

Black spray paint before they put them on...just have them pull a few rows of weights out and paint them quickly which you can even get the white tape black, it dries quick enough.

They are available on ebay and Amazon, I bought a box for around 50.00 with shipping. They came from an automotive wheel and tire accessory supplier.

I see they sell black weights but I'm liking the Plasti dip idea also.

I just had newtires put on my ride last week. The place was nice enough to paint the weights before sticking them on my black rims.
