Subject:Re: Best Wheel Weights????? (Advice Needed, Stick-Ons)
From:Dave Mcneely

I would be leery of weights that stick on with glue, rather than clamping on to the wheel.  I might be wrong, but seems to me that the wheel would be a place where glue would be very likely to fail, while the clamp on weights have stood the test of long-time use.  I've done no tests, but just formed this judgment from long-time use of the clamp on weights.
