From that amount of weight, i'd say that is a tad buckled and wouldn't bother with them myself

Yes they will fit on a Corsa B

That's far too many weights for a healthy wheel Why would you pick that one for the main pic on the ad? Surely there are better ones

But yeah they won't look very good on a Corsa anyway. Originally on mk3 Astra's iirc.

i wouldnt worry if the wheel visually looks alright, no buckles or cracks etc, can always replace them weights with stick on ones round the inside of the rim

some of it can be due to the tyre itself not the wheel. they look perhaps to be admirals or something else rather cheap.

As nic says a poor quality or damaged tyre can cause that, or a buckle, or a moronic trainee tyre fitter

I've got two bucked wheels on the Corsa and it took a few weights to get them balanced, but not that many!

That wheel looks terrible. I wouldn't be happy with that amount of weight on any of my wheels.

Twats at Peugeot put the weights on the outside of my front wheels when i had them done last time. Doubt they will come off without leaving marks so will need new wheels or a refurb.

hate it when that happens. Also hate asking them beforehand to not use them just in case. Makes me look like a stuck up twat

actually, pug wheels are supposed to have the weights on the outside by design, our you've ever tried to fit sticky weights inside you'd see why people bang them on the outside, the area inside to put the weights is practically in the middle of the wheel

Is there a special tool i can purchase to get them off to check for damage? Weights have actually started rusting and tyres could do with a replace tbh.
