    Default What is this on the front wheels? A spacer, or what?

    I am a new Spyder F3-S owner. I bought a 2015 this past July and am loving it. I was doing some cleaning on the front wheels and was wondering what this part is? It looks like some kind of wheel spacer. Thanks.

    I'm 100 % sure but I think that/ they are a Centrifugal wheel / tire balancer ..... Look at LaMonsters vendor page and see what His looks like..... if they are - use them,because that may be the only balance you have for the front wheels ..... Mike

    Thanks for the info. They seem to be working. Neither of the front wheels have any weights attached.

    Keep them on and they will be fine!!! You'll never have to balance a tire again.

    That's because they arn't from the CanAm factory.....ie. " not oem " ..... you have to purchase them from " centramatic " ..... Mike

    Those are kinda pricey these days ..Centramatic lists them as $395 for a full set of three 2F 1 R

    My tire guy had no issues mounting and spin balancing my new Continentals for the front of my 2019 RTL. $50
