    Hahaha don’t ask me, ask Americas Tires 😅 I’ll bug them about it the next time I take my car in.

      You hit any potholes? Might mean the wheel is bent. Or the tire is a bad batch and not round and requires a large offset in weights.

        I did not - but the wheels and tires are used so it’s possible. I’ll have them checked out the next time I get my wheels and tires serviced. No shaking or vibration when I drive. I just checked and all 4 corners are like this so I believe this was the tech going overboard with the weights vs an issue with my wheels/tires.

          AWE46M3 that's pretty crazy overboard if so, they're just following what the wheel balancer tells them to do so I'd bet the tires are junk.

          Checked my wheels and the most my car has on one wheel is two weights, one 10g one 5g Most of them have a single 10g weight. Yours has like 30

            You're probably right. I am planning on replacing the Firehawks with MSP4S in the Spring/Summer. I'll hope for a better result in terms of the weights when I get the new tires put on. Thanks for your input

                    What CSL/ZCP rotor are you using with your 6 piston BBK caliper? On my kit, im using the E90x (360x30mm) which I believe has a thicker hat size than the E46 (345x28mm). I think im running the H&R 20mm Bolt-On Wheel Spacers on the front to clear my style 67 and 163. Im also lowered on KW3 with Turner motorsports fully adjustable camber hats.
