Fuchs wheel weight placement Options

[bbrock]

After 37 years of 914 ownership, I'm finally about to buy my first all new set of rubber for my 4-spoke Fuchs. I've removed adhesive weights both inside and outside the rims.

Question: Can wheels be properly balanced with weights on the inside only?

Adhesive weights on the outside don't really bother me that much but if they can all be installed inside without sacrificing balance, I might as well request it.

I got curious after noticing the shop that mounted rubber on some junkyard-purchased alloys for my beater SUV placed them all inside without asking. Going to a different shop for the Porsche so count on them just doing it unless I ask.

Thanks guys. A rare unanimous opinion on the World. Quick, somebody lock this thread before some trouble-making contrarian weighs in!

The guys at the shop I'll be going to are nice, but having had two cars aligned with crooked steering wheels, I don't think attention to detail is their thing. Checking to see if my neighbor has a wheel balancer. He's trustworthy.
