Default 3M wheel weights...

Anyone know of a shop using the factory style wheel weights that came of the Grand Sport (they look like a black hard foam material)? Trying to find a foot or two of it. I don't need a whole roll for $250.00.

Thanks

This is the factory wheel weight on my 2019 GS. GM also used these wheel weights on the C6 because I have them on my 2013 GS. Are these the ones you are referring to?

I just changed my tires and my plan is to just take black paint and paint them.

The Discount Tire I purchased A/S's from had black weights in stock. They might sell you a couple of strips.

A tire and wheel shop did this with mine when I had them mount a new tire and it looked awesome. I was pleasently surprised to see it perfectly matched to the rim color (black). Just some matching touch up paint will work. It's not that visible anyway.

You can still find the old style stick-on lead weights that are about half the size.

My good friends shop (who does my wheels) uses the 3M system in addition to the regular weights. If you want a strip of weights (gray color only) I can probably get some for you.

I suppose I will also have to get you the conversion chart ie. how long of a strip = what weight.

That would be awesome and no I don't need the calibration strip. I can figure that out very easily. Sending you a PM.
