Wheel weights

[Silver Snake]

Any ideas on how to get them to stay put? It seems that shortly after getting my wheels balanced I get vibrations. When I check the wheels sure enough some (or all) the weights have come off.

Thanks!

Hmmm I havent had that problem. I would make sure that whom ever is balaceing them, that before they put the weight on, they throughly clean the surface first. Maybe even hand them some alcohol wipes.

Wheels never stay balanced anyway. Mark you tire and check it from time to time. It rarely stays in one place.

If the weights are that important to you then you could put some hi-temp tape over them.

Tell them to clean the surface well before putting them on. Or bring epoxy and have them use it.

Are you saying that I shouldn't worry about the weights that fall off? What about the vibrations?

Don't speed & do burnouts & the weights won't fall off
