Miata Mailing List: November 1999, Message #346

Peter, next time you have tem put on, drive carefully back home and mark
the location of the weight on the rim.  Then remove it and reapply it
with some good 2-part epoxy.  Should fix the problem.

Stick-on weights are notorious for not sticking.  Rim weights are
better, but many have had problems with those being pushed off the rims
with heavy cornering.

Hope this helps.
