So I purchased this car at 30k miles from my brother and now it currently has 35k. He had the wheels and tires put on by discount tire. Not sure what the specs of the wheels are but the tires are Kumho 275/30/20. Anyone know what could of caused this problem? It has never been wrecked or any curb incidents.
Here is the right rear wheel:

And here is the left rear wheel (it seems as if the balancing weight was the only thing that got it)

Ive never drifted before but I have had to brake hard in a few instances when people in front of me just slam on their brakes. Other than that nothing extraordinary just normal driving and a few fast accelerations here and there. No burnouts or drifting.

i would say its a problem with the bead. if you look at the second and third pictures it looks like the bead wasnt seated right. discount did this to a set of my slicks on my dragster, except with a taller softer sidewall, it was much more eggagerated(?). i would take it back to discount and say WTF?!

I'd take them back. I had a similar issue with a Bfg mud terrain tire and they replaced it at no charge.
Have them use lead tape with the wheel weights. Not the clip on. And, yes they will stay on. I have two sets of race Fiske wheels and the weights are always lead tape on and never have come off during any session on the track.
