when I take a pic of the other side I think you will see. Hard to get a pic on that side because I have a workbench running the length of the car there.

btw.. your tire guy is a bit off in his mark for puttin the tire on the wheel...

perhaps its the angle but you should be fine as long as his balancing offset the missed marker..

..

see the yellow dot on the rear tire...

that dot is a low point.. less mass.. what have you.. on the tire as tires will never ever be uniform

the tire guy is supposed to align the dot with the stem to offset the difference in weight..

this equates to less weights used and placed on the wheel...

I never knew if that dot was supposed to be on the stem or opposite, but everytime I have gotten tires mounted that have a dot the mounter does not pay any mind to it.



One of the wheels has 2 weights on it, cant be all that bad.

I will still have to clean it the night before, sometimes I even clean it the morning of the show too- luckily for me I dont make it to many shows, lol



But I have been enjoying cars and coffee at the local beach, only bad thing is a RX7 is a **** pail compared the cars that come to that event, they show me respect because the car is clean, but man you cant compete with the cars that go there on a sunday morning.

I dont think you were ever at MY shop, you were at my friend Dave's shop where I used to be able to do my side work, now I own my own place, which is where I worked for 13 years before buying it 3 years ago.
