Default FIA wheels with Wilwood brakes (ERA) - where to put wheels weights

I have a 427 car with 6 PIN FIA wheels and ERA's big front brake setup (Wilwood). If I install stick on wheel weights on the back of the wheels they will interfere with the calipers. The fit is very tight back there. I really don't want to have to put weights on the outside of the wheel in visible view. Any suggestions?

We use thin stick-on weights right on the inside corner. I think we have to buy them from Wurth:
08301310 Wheel weight, Adhesive, 10gm non-coated
08301325 Wheel weight, Adhesive, 25gr non-coated
08301335 Wheel weight, Adhesive, 35gr non-coated
08301345 Wheel weight, Adhesive, 45gr non-coated
*I see that Cal Custom has some "low profile" weights too. Can't guarantee a fit.

Default Use Stick On weights

66Gkt Stick on weights with a road force and high speed balance. Weights go behind the spokes on the wheels for outters and I used clip on mag weights for the inner side. Also recommend 200 mph tape to cover weights and don't stack the weights. Been running this way since 1998 with 15" and now 17" wheels and big brakes from ERA
