I have found that the stick on weights tend to come off the chrome rims. Wires never balance up quite as well as alloys, I'm also using spigot rings and wobble bolts so was trying to get the wheels balanced up as well as possible.
These wheels seem too almost perfect when driving but could well be just that they are in better balance than my previous set. My previous set I used stick on weights and instructed them to only attach them to the inside rim, they do have a certain amount of wobble that you can feel when you rest your hands lightly on the steering wheel. Again probably down to the state of the wheels.
The tyre garage said I would get a better balance using the old-fashioned bang on weights, whether or not it is true I don't know.
