5. Wheel balance. Balance weights should be on each side. When the wheel
is out of balance or a tire has been repaired, be sure to balance the wheel again.
If total weight is over 150g, readjust the balance by
reinstalling the tire on the wheel.
Balance weight should not protrude from the wheel rim
over 3mm.
For aluminum wheel, use aluminum wheel balance weight
