The old wheels are off the 911, and the old wheel weights removed and the wheels all cleaned up where the weights were. The new tires and the old wheels are in the bed of the El Camino, and I am off to the tire shop as soon as the normal rush hour dies down.
I am weird in lots of ways, and on is I prefer the Porsche OEM style wheel weights from the era. The squared off edges, stamped face with a weight in grams of the weight, and the curved back to stick to the curve of the wheel just look right. I can't find a source for new ones, but I have saved my old ones over the years, and reused them many times. I have a small stash of them from a friend that worked at a wheel shop for a time.
Just soak them in lacquer thinner and the old adhesive falls off. I am more gentle on the wheel, I use Goof off and a nylon scraper knife thing. The old adhesive all comes off and there is no sign the weight was ever there.
As soon as the rush hour dies down I will head to the downtown OKC area and drop off the wheels. Some normal people just take their car to a regular shop or have a mobile shop come to their house. It must me easier to be normal, but I will never know.
