ok so you coat the pellets in grease and just throw them inside and it balances the tire? strange concept to me i would thin they would just roll around.
do they just end up at the low end of the wheel and stay there through centifugal force?

I just painted a set of 15" Jeep Canyon wheels and put them on with the help of Spidertrax adapters. I had to do some light grinding on the brake caliper but it didnt require much. They look great on the JK and make the 33"s look bigger.

Do you think the weights would clear with slight grinding of the brake caliper? I am like you... I don't want the weights on the outside of the wheel because i have ripped mine off on the stock wheels.

Also, Are those 35's? Your JK is looking good!

i heard that 15s might be too small for wheeling on these jeeps?
anyone have any experience where they may want bigger wheels when offroading?
does the mud get too packed up in the wheels?
