I was about to reply stick on weights but you found the problem. I’d take the wheel off and try to make sure it hasn’t damaged anything. They will probably have to rebalance the wheels and use knock on weights.

Thank you! Some of them dropped off already. Is that an emergency?
Man I wanna go to another shop to redo the balancing.

You should be ok to drive it to a shop for rebalance. I’d probably have them all rebalanced from looking at that one. Also try to check and make sure it didn’t damage anything else.

Only the rear ones are rubbing but slightly. Am I able to drive to work tomorrow?

Are there weights not that thick? Or should I use clip weights? Is it safe?

Those weights are definitely thick. You should be ok to drive to work and then the tire store. I have had weights fall off before and drove mine to a tire store.

Yeah the weight does looks like double the thickness of my Discount Tires ones.

Yes. Do you think I can take them off for now so they don't rub?

Yes. You can drive it to the shop without the weights. But, please go to a different shop though. Something so obvious and they didn't catched

Ok... thought that let them fix it for me... I guess I will have to find another shop... It's hard to make a same-day appointment.
