Mag rims should always have stick on ones that go in the inside of the rims.

erm, sorry but being that the rim has an outer beading/lip, the balance weight fitment is perfectly adequate.....admittedly not very nice looking but will certainly do the job. Kia & Suzuki fit wheel weights in the same way. Never been a problem.
