Thanks mate.
I have jacked up the front and I am missing the weight on the front left. The weights are on the inside of the rim. The wheel weight that i found on my driveway says "20g" on it. Thanks all.

mate, if you know where the weight goes, then just put it back on yourself.
squeeze the clip bit with a pair of pliers so it doesnt fall off again, then just carefully tap it back on with a hammer and screwdriver. Steve.

It does have to be pretty accurate, but you should have a mark on you wheel were it was. If you can get it within a mm of that you'll be laughing.
Otherwise, I hear wheelsworld is the place to go.

Update:
Just went to the new Bridgestone 'i' Select in Ellenbrook to sort out this balancing issue. Stickons this time Well I came away with a wealth of information. The new machine he used shows where the tyre needs to be balanced exactly (inside part of rim well) and where the actual rim needs to be balanced (outside part of rim well). Wheel weights DO need to be placed in an exact position. The machine he has can also balance the wheel spoke by spoke so you don't see any wheel weights as they are hidden behind the spokes of the wheels instead of the wheel well. This process takes about 30mins. He also said as a general rule bang on weights should only be used on steel wheels. "Static balancing" which most older style balancing machines use.

You mean that knock on weights should only be used on steel rims don't you ?
