Wheel weights for a glued tire

EDIT:

i know this has been done before, but i just wanted to share another way that i found to add wheel weights to a tire/wheel thats already been glued. (i wanted to use automotive wheel weights, but i couldnt find any auto parts stores around here that would sell them. so i came up with another solution)...


i started with heavy washers and glued them to the inside of the wheels.


then i took self adhesive magnetic tape and wrapped it around on the inside of the wheels. (i know, i thought about the magnetic interference that might occur with the electronics and motors on the truck. so i wrapped the entire truck with the tape and drove it around and there was no interference).












i also used glue to help hold the magnetic tape to the wheel. the tape also holds the washer in place very nicely and is also flush with the edge of the wheel.

each washer cost $0.07 and the package of tape was $4.00.

before adding the weight, the tire weighed 3.2 ounces.
the washer weighs 1.6 ounces.
and the amount of tape i put on weights 1.6 ounces.

this brought the total weight of the tire to 6.4 ounces.

if i wanted more weight, there is still plenty of room to keep wrapping the tape around the inside of the wheel.

with the tire/wheel on the truck, the washer and tape is nicely hidden.

kool approach. a car part store should be able to sell you wheel weights if you still want to use them if i cant find them still let me know and ill sell you some
