Really? This is a classic case of you get what you pay for. You wanted to save a couple of hundred bucks, and this is what you got. My experience with discount tire is that they could care less about the aesthetics of wheel weights and how they match your wheels. After all, they are "discount tire." I've seen them just tape (or clamp) weights to the outside of chrome rims just about any way they see fit. If you want a shop that tries hard to balance your wheels and actually color match or conceal the weights, next time go someplace that doesn't have "Discount" in their name.
