Question about M359 rims

Hello.
I just had OEM M359 installed and I’ve noticed a small plastic object which does not seem like a removable sticker. Does anyone know what it is?

are you trolling?


in case you arent, its a wheel weight used to balance the wheel and tire. if you took them off, you would most likely feel vibration.

I would have them spray paint that black so it’s less noticeable

Or ask the wheel shop to use black weights.

Thanks to all. I hadn’t noticed these type of zinc weights in any car before. Maybe because I never had black rims in the past.

You also may not have noticed them in the past because depending on the type of wheel, it can require a different type of weight. A lot of BMW wheels are stylized so that flat stick on weights need to be used. Other wheels can be designed with a raised lip to allow the type seen below.
