I just had my tires rotated and balanced. The tire guy pried off one old balance weight and scuffed up the annodizing leaving a clear mark where the old weight was. I didn't realize it until I got home; just thought it was dirt behind the old weight, but it's permanent. Is this common with the 99 annodized rims and something you just have to live with, or did I just get a careless balance guy? If anyone has similar rims I'd appreciate hearing your experiences. Also the new balance weight installed is different than the factory weight. I don't know if that makes any difference, but it seems like the new one will be even harder to pry off because it has no lip like the factory weights.

well i used to work at a tire shop and yes it does happen alot no it doesnt matter factory wieght or not but take your car back and complain severly and tell them to replace them or to repair them do to customer service they should do so i was always very nice to volvos when they came into the shop but didnt care about the others
