Where to buy clip-on weights for these Volks?

Anyone know where to get some clip-on balance weights that work with these wheels so I can replace the stick-ons?

Why would you want clip ons (they are actually whack ons) vs. the stick ons?

"tape" weights will not clear his brakes (see pictures). I don't think clip weights (whack ons)will work on that style of lip....but I might be wrong. Luke would know for sure.

What about moving the tapes? But I assume their location matters?

You can do both a static (generally not recommended b/c it treats the wheel as a 2 dimensional object) or dynamic balancing with sticky and/or clip on weights. If you want, you can have the clip on weights on the inner lip, but that will scratch the finish. I would recommmend sticky weights on both the inside of the wheel, just below the flange on the rim & the other weights behind the spokes or on the wheel in front of the blue field.
