They can also static balance your wheels where they only put the hammer on weights on the inside lip of the wheel.

Already fucking happened! I just looked at the wheels to see if they were still there-about half of the weights on each wheel are long gone-left behind sticky residue from the stick tape.

Fuck Midas!

good luck getting those off without screwing up your wheels, cause you come to my shop with sticky weights siliconed on, they are coming off one way or another.

And mine is not the only horror story I have heard from dobbs. Many other people have had similar issues. Honestly I have had better luck with walmart.

Flat blade screwdriver? Then a little bit of MEK. Shit ain't hard man.

-wont that throw off the balance of the wheel?

Nah, just put a dab on to cover around all the edges. Enough to keep the weights on.
