Blue paint dot on new wheels
My new 06 ZR has a blue paint dot on every wheel. Honestly I should have noticed before I took delivery but, It was night and I was too excited. Anyone know why they are there or how best to remove them?

That dot shows either the heavy or light area of the wheel. The tires should have had a dot also to indicate to opposite weight (light or heavy side). Those dots should be lined up. When they are and the assembly is balanced it should take very little weights to achieve balance.

I have the same dots even after a year later.. looks like a job for a careful razor blade. GOOD LUCK!
