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
I have a 2023 F3 LTD Special Series , and my tires have weights on the rims.
I did not see the Centramatic Wheel Balances on mine.

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

Many Spyder owners, even with their tires perfectly spin balanced, still have vibrations coming from the tires/wheels. Could that be solved with premium tires or better rims? Maybe. However, many found slapping a set of Centramatic's on solves those issues without having to spend all that money on trial and error, especially if you just bought a new Spyder and already have to fork out money for new tires.
Last year I bought a 23 F3-S, and for the first 4k miles had lots of vibration. I had my tires checked for balance and they were fine. My next options were to buy new tires for $250+, but there's no guarantee that will fix the issue; if not, I'd also need new rims, which is another $250+. Or I could grab a set of these for $250 @ Lamonster, which I did, and it solved all my issues. My F3 rides silky smooth now!
