Works great and is easy to take off when it's time for new tires.

Be gentle as you install it or it'll rip over the weight corners.

Thanks for your suggestions. I did all four wheels and right away I realized it is more complicated than you would think.

Everything I do always end up being complicated.

So first, I did not want to put the tape on the full length of the weight. I only wanted to tape the end.

So when you tape it, the weight edge drops in a 90 degree angle. So do I tape it creating a slop with an air pocket? or do I try to make the tape follow the 90 degree then extend to the wheel.

I tried it both ways but neither looks conclusively better that the other way.

Open to suggestions

I just tape the whole way

That does not tell me what to do with the edges.

I try to remove any pockets so that tape follows the shape of the weights. Main thing is that tape has good and smooth contact area on the rim.

got it.
