Wheel Weights

[Aspear]

To be fair, he said they were causing some kind of abrasion to the wheel. I'm not sure how that works, as centrifugal force ensures they are spread around the tire carcass evenly by weight while rolling, and collect at the bottom of the carcass while slowing.

He did also state it was a magnesium wheel which would be more acceptable to corrosion

This is what sold me many years ago and 700k miles later using dynobeads

I understand the beads could be snake oil, witchcraft or voodoo, so it is possible I am delusional:

Well exactly, could have been excess moisture, water or some chemical from tire mounting causing corrosion or some solid contaminate or beads themselves causing abrasion. But none of that equals snake oil which clearly implies the beads are not effective in balancing the wheel.
