I know the aftermarket rim manufacturers like to tought lighter, which is OK, but it would interesting to find/know percentages of where the weight savings are physically in the wheel.
I have Steeda rotors, however these look interesting!!

I had mine balanced today at a Goodyear shop. Seems many/most of them in my area have black wheel weights, as I had my pick of nearby Goodyear shops, based on which could get it done the soonest. They are nice, definitely don't stick out like a sore thumb!!
Looks like your car sat on the lot under an old steel lot light. Water dripping down from the light onto your car. Or parked next to a fence that was leaning over the car. I have see both situations in the past. A good retailer may be able to remove the stains I think there are products...
Has anyone had experiences with any black wheel weights?
I see them listed on eBay, they are steel rather than lead which should not make a functional difference. They are also high zinc content for corrosion resistance. I see some listed as epoxy double coat paint and others as powder coated...
