All aluminum wheels must be balanced using the nylon coated weights to prevent damage to the clear coat finish.
These balance weights provide a much better appearance and are used on both the outboard and inboard rim flanges. They will not discolor, corrode or damage the wheel as may have been the case in the past with some uncoated clip-on weights used on aluminum wheels.
Below is a complete list of all the coated weights required for balancing Fiero aluminum wheels.

When installing the coated weights, care must be taken so that the nylon coating does not crack. It is recommended that a teflon hammer be used, such as 85403 Nicholson Industrial hammer, available through the Charles Strelinger Company, Warren, Michigan (313)-268-4100, or equivalent.
