Great hive mind...

I am having some issues with wheel weights staying on.  I'm using new 
weights meant for allow wheels, and I'm having a hard time getting the 
weight on the rim and staying there.

Is there a trick to this that I'm missing?  I never had problems with 
steel rims and weights.

Thanks.

Moose

Last time I had wire wheels balanced the tech told me that stick on weights s=
hould only be used on alloy wheels.
