[s-cars] was: re S-cars in seattle, now:RS2 Rocks! (wheel/tire questions)

[Bob Rossato]

What kind of wheels are these that require all those balance weights?!

Or are the Sumis themselves that off balance?

BTW, I had heard that the yellow dot on new tires is supposed to be the
preferred spot for locating the filler stem from a balancing standpoint.
Anyone else hear that?  Of course now I'm starting to see yellow AND red
dots on new tires so I don't know what to believe.
