should this bother me?

I got my new tires/wheels balanced today in anticipation for the switch to pin drives. The shop did not charge me a penny, and I thought that was cool...they just said when I was ready for new tires, come see them. How cool is that?!

Anyway, when I looked the wheels over, the way they balanced them was with weights double sided TAPED in the inner aspect of the rim. I am an old fashioned "hammer the weight on the edge" kinda guy. Is this new way better? or just different? should I take them somewhere else and have it done differently. They used one of the nice Hunter machines.

what do you guys think?

Buzz,

You should never use hammer on weights on a alloy wheel.

The stick on weights are the correct method for your wheels.

OK, great...that helps me a bunch.... I just have never seen it done this way
