OEM wheel weights?

Can you post the part number for the OEM wheel weights?

Look at the link I posted, they look exactly like the ones that are on my wheels from the factory

My rubi rims and my wife's Sahara rims also came with these clip ons

I'd say it's not an OEM part if there is no Jeep part #.

Talking about the stick on ones on the front obviously and those are exactly the same as the ones I posted that come from the factory.

This is a new one for me. OEM wheel weights? You must be joking. If anyone ever came into the shop I used to run and asked to "only use OEM weights" I'd have laughed them out the door. It's not like any car brand makes their own weights, and it's not like gravity works any different if you use different weights...

Obviously dunno what OEM means, I like the looks of them and like everything to be original

As you know they don’t come with all the same weights on the wheels from the factory, I reference OEM because of the style of weights that are on there since they don’t all use the same ones.

All of them that I have had have had the trapezoidal ones

Make sure to post some pictures of your wheels having all stick-on weights for balancing. I need to see it to believe it.

... and just so you don't think that my JTM wheels are an oddity, here are a few pics of one of my JLR wheels:

Wasn’t OEM if there was a mix on OEM wheels. Every Jeep I’ve had have had the type of weights I posted in the link. On my 4th had a JLU and 3 JTs, Mojave, Rubicon and now Overland

Would it be OEM if it came on the Jeep from Toledo?

I think he said earlier that he doesn't know what OEM means, so ?‍

This is going to a long thread of people laughing and making fun at your expense. There are no OEM wheel weights. The weights used on Jeep wheels installed at the factory are the same as those available to any tire store in the country. If Jeep is not mounting and balancing tires inside the factory, then it is being done by someone else. As always, parts and labor supplied by the lowest bidder(s).

Someone's OCD is out of balance and needs an adjustment.

First off. Jeep uses an outside vendor to mount and balance the tires. The outside vendor get the wheel weights from whom ever is the cheapest for that contract period. The the wheel weights may or may not match from contract to contract. Because each contract may have a different vendor.

If you use the Jeep Wave program. You get an oil change and a tire rotation. No rebalancing. Some tire chain stores may offer a tire rotation only, or may have tire balancing with it. Read the fine print.

As the pictures posted. You get both styles of weights. A clip on and a stick on. The reason being is when balancing a wheel. You balance in 2 planes. A dynamic balance. Since they can't put any weights on the outside of the rim because of the style. They have to use a stick on close as possible to the outside. Which is right behind the rim spokes. The clip on weight are where they need to be.
