I would like to buy some of the painted / powder coated wheel balancing weights fitted as original equipment by the manufacturer.

None of my local tyre shops have these, I can't find much info on the net either.

I asked Rimstock, but they havn't come back to me yet.

Could you not paint some standard ones? Most motor factors will produce colour matched aerosols.

I have found that Wurth supply nice powder coated stick on weights.
I suppose not many tyre places use them as they will be more expensive.
I'm trying to buy a small quantity, just to see what they are like.
My original weights are definately coated a silver/greyish colour, it's too well on there to be ordinary paint.
