The all black ones on there on supposedly Centerline wheels. I bought them used so I don't know but that's what the guy told me. I couldn't find a brand on them anywhere.

I'm pissed at tire kingdom though, they need to rebalance my wheels and use different weights. This truck was butter smooth at 80 with the old wheels and a 30,000 mile old wheel balance. Put these wheels on (same tires) and they used sticky weights that are clipping my calipers, and I'm afraid to even get to 75 it shakes so damn much

Thats ****ty, thats why I like doing my own wheels/tires. I can see why they used sticky weights tho, they didnt want to risk scratching them.

I think it was complete lack of planning. The damn weights are stacked like 4 tall the back wheel I took off today. There's probably a pound worth of those stick on things back there. How the hell am I supposed to rotate my tires when the fronts can't even clear 1 weight, yet the backs are stacked 4 tall?

Anyways, I went back today and got to talk to the guy I wanted who helps me out, so I'll be getting them re-balanced free tomorrow with the weights on the outside of the wheels.

Are you sure your rims aren't bent? The rims from my truck were off a wrecked truck, 2 rims have a wobble and were out 15 ounces which are
Impossible to balance (33x12.5 tires don't help), and 2 balanced perfect. Good ones went on the front, and whenever I use stick on weights at school they never stay. Although they could be poor quality weights

If your tires were originally mounted on those other wheels as new tires it can make a huge difference when they switch to other wheels. sometimes the orientation of the tire can change which will mess it up. Also like another member said, the wheels could be bent. There's plenty of factors. But that's good that they're going to help you out.
