So I got some new tyres fitted today, but after getting home and having a look i spotted a problem, anyone else see what I'm seeing?

thats a bit silly of em

bloody idoits, go back n tell them to change it to a stick on one.

did it have a stick on in the first place ? i'd go back and ask for stock ons def..

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

As long as it has the lip to clip the weight on it can go anywhere. It just looks nicer to have stick ons on the inside..

A lot of 4WD mag wheel with 16s must have smash ons on the face lip, as it gets pretty hard to balance a 265/75/16 on a 16x8. alot more rubber gives a lot more wobbles, hence you see a lot of weight on 4wd rims.

most VW mag wheels require stick on on the inside and the back edge as well, have a flat no lip.

My Subi rims had the weights on the outside..

Also, if the rims or tyres are a fair way out of whack ( upto 100grams) on Alloy 2 ( stick on inner/smash on outer), you'll find using 2 bang ons (dynamic) instead will reduce the weight down quite considerably. 1 of my rims is considerablly bent, has 120grams on the face lip with bash ons, had 180grams with a stick on.

but just looks like the fitter was in a quite rush and just smashed them on.

Nice satria GTi rims though, do you actually own one or just bought them for another car ? my missus has one too.

I originally bought a gti satria back in dec '99, was the first owner to have a turbocharged version published, continued to own and modify it until early this year when i sold it to pay off the wifes getz in preparation for our new addition coming this feb, from the left over sale funds i bought the m21 and put my original gti rims on it.
