Wheel balancing weights on new wheels ?

So I just got my Method NV's mounted up yesterday and besides the shop hitting the rims with there socket and scuffing every rim at least twice they also used some new looking light grey wheel balancing weights that stick out like a sore thumb on the all black NV's. I mean there almost white. Am I being too ****? Cuz its driving me crazy. Or should I just walk away and go else where?

Use balancing beads.

Where did you end up going to have them mounted?

Balancing beads are great.

Goodyear, I thought a place that specialized in tires wouldn't mess things up. Did you use balancing beads?

I had poor results with beads. They were great on smooth roads but in Chicago those don't exist, every expansion joint the beads went out of balance and by the time we balanced out there was another pot hole or heave in the road. It wasn't constant death wobble about 45 mph

Sounds to me that Goodyear owes you for new rims or to have the damaged ones refurbished (your choice).

As for weights ... Stick-on and NONE on the outside.

These where stick ons but the bill says they are steel. So I'm guessing that's whey there coated in the light grey plastic and whey it took so many. I would assume if they where the lead stick on ones it wouldn't need as many
