As far as I understand there is no need to change the weights around. The weights help to centre the rotating mass. I have changed my rims around alot and never bother touching them :thumbsup:. If you were to touch them then you would need to have the wheel re-balanced as well.

the way i see it is
the weights are for THAT rim, not that particular corner of the car
so when you change them around, don't bother changing the weights around because that'll just unbalance the rims

the weights ARE for that rim. They are "balancing" it.
IF you take them off at all as said above , you need to rebalance the rim.
