Default Too many weights on wheel?

I recently brought a set of xd rockstar 20x8.5 wheels with 305/50/20 nitto grapplers tires new I just noticed one wheel has 20 small stick on weights with .25 Fe markings on them I would think these are way too many weights for one wheel to have isnt it?

it could be correct being that that is to make it balanced. i would take it to a tire shop and have them look at it.

If your tire balance (vibration) is smooth, leave them alone. Make sure you rotate the tires according to the schedule.

Thats a big tire. It will take more weight to balance them. 4oz on a wheel/tire that big is not bad
