So soon enough I'll be putting on my Niche Intake wheels. While they did come with tires, I'll be adding TPMS which will require a re-balance. There are no weights on the wheel currently so they may not even be balanced yet. While researching I found that these are "Reverse Drop Center" and require different equipment (or maybe the same equipment just used differently) from a standard mount/balance. I also found that some brands have issues with water collecting which then causes vibration at high speeds.
Does anyone have experience with this issue? Lots of the threads I found were old, 2003-2005 so maybe it's no longer a problem? I inspected the wheels and have a hard time seeing where any water would collect as the wheel seems to step down from inside to outside.
Is there anything I should be concerned with when having the TPMS installed and the wheels balanced? I will probably go to a rim shop instead of the dealer since I assume they will have more experience with aftermarket stuff.
Last thing, any way to avoid the stick-on weights? I don't care about weights on the inside of the rim, but the stick-on weights look bad, IMO.
Pic of what will soon be on.
