A good tech with the right machine should be able to balance your wheels with minimal weights.
I agree. I have 2 sets of oem wheels that don't have half the amount of weights. They were mounted/balanced by Alufelgen. Will have to contact them because they seem unbalanced on certain road surfaces. Should have just bought the wheels from them and had the tires mounted locally.
