Balancing powdercoated H2's

How are you guys balancing your powder coated H2 wheels?
I don't want weights on the outside of my freshly coated black wheels, will the stick on kind of weight clear the calipers when stuck on the inside of the rim? or do they have the clip on weights available in black? I'm having them mounted and balanced tomorow and am just worried they will use the stick on kind and the calipers will tear them off!
any input would be great. thanks.

While mine are not powdercoated, I also am running the 'inside' mounted weights. I did not want the ugly weights visible from the outside, plus they damage and mar the wheels when hammered on.....

The stick-on balancing weights fits completely fine and clear the calipers without any issues....

Inside stickey weights work fine. My FJ60 is the only thing Ive ever had them on because inside rim weights would hit parts of the suspension when turned hard.

Never had one fly off and theyve been on there a few years...

I was in the same boat, after powdercoating my H2's black I didn't want to look at any wheel weights, so I went with the stick-on kind on the inside of the wheels.

Are you going to drive the thing or keep it in the garage? Who cares, have them balanced correctly!
