I had the same problem. I put adhesive weights on instead. I understand that
you can file down the steering knuckle, use bigger rims or put the weights
on the outside.

Greetings:

After installation of alloy wheels it appears that the wheel weights on the 
front wheels have popped off, leaving me with wobbly wheels once again.  I 
found a wheel weight in my driveway that looks to have been scarred from 
rubbed against some suspension or frame member.  The rear weights are still 
on the wheels even though I have installed a tube shock conversion kit.

(The weights are installed on the INSIDE of the new wheels for appearance 
sake.)

Has anyone else experienced this problem with aftermarket wheels and wheel 
weights?  Any alloy users install the weights on the outside of wheel to 
avoid the problem?

Thanks and best regards,
