Wheel weights that dont stay on

what do you guys use to keep the weights on ive lost 3 in 5k miles since buying the car.

not on the same wheels either maybe its just old glue but damn. okay so maybe it has to do with a few speed runs but thats neither here or there.

I have a rolla of tape that says only "Permacel" on the inside. I couldn't find that online. Here is something that looks like what I use:

Make sure to clean the brake dust and such away from the area around the weights to be taped, then ut and apply it. If you are losing them in regular driving, probably your shop isn't cleaning the wheel properly before applying the weights.

Yup... It's called HVAC ducting tape. I bought a large roll at Home Depot two years ago and the stuff works well!

ah that would work good ole aluminum tape.

yea i think these were installed by a less then competent tire n wheel guy cause they weighted it weird from atleast how i was taught to apply weight to a wheel a few years back.
