These balance weights provide a much better appearance, and are used on both the outboard and inboard rim flanges. They will not discolor, corrode, or damage the wheel as may have been the case in the past with some uncoated clip-on weights used on aluminum wheels. Below is a complete list of all the coated weights required for balancing aluminum wheels.

General Motors bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, not a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform those technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, do not assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition. See a General Motors dealer servicing your brand of General Motors vehicle for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.
