Ballanced Wheels

Yikes. Berny and I noted a bunch of weights on the rims of the RX-8s. This is because of the silly flat tire notification system.

Hopefully that doesn't add to much weight to the stock wheels. And according to that RX8 CD if you replace the stock wheels than it will set off the tire warning alarm. Could you confirm this?

nice thought if the pressure monitoring was done by a device on the rim, but my understanding from other threads was that it's based on the ABS sensors checking for differing speeds between the wheels.
must be another reason for that much weight, like it's just a big 18" wheel and it's getting balanced at the ~14" point. (less mechanical advantage)
