You know they probably were, but the previous owner had the wheels on wacky when I bought it. When I took the wheels off today, I noticed RF, LF, RR, LR written on the inside of each rim. I realized they must have been balanced for those specific locations and switched them around to their correct locations.

The AWD system doesn't seem to be affected in any way, but I did notice some vibration under hard braking over the last two weeks. Glad I corrected the problem sooner rather than later...

P.S. One +ve is that when I weighed my stock rims w/ tires today, the two front ones both weighed in at exactly 47.5lbs! I didn't bother weigh the rears, as it was getting repetitive seeing the same number come up on the digital scale. Hopefully, the fact that the tires were all the same weight would cause no ill-effects to my AWD system down the road! Knock-on-wood!!!
