Sticky wheel weights falling off - what tape to use?
Specifically on the rear wheels. Have seen some sort of shinny silver tape but don;t know where to buy it. Think the problem may be heat from the engine. Anyone else?
Where can I buy a good heat resistant tape that would keep the weights on? Thanks.

just have your wheels rebalanced with static hammer on wheel weight. this puts the weight on the inside only and you dont have to worry about the tape coming off again.

I use the HVAC foil tape, get it from my local Ace Hardware. Haven't lost a weight ever with this tape. And that includes a lot of track time too.
