Glad to hear this - thought it might have been the wheel cleaner (P21s)! After a track event (more specifically the clean up after it) I noticed several weights were loose. I'm going to have to find another solution, as I don't have dedicated track wheels and duct tape will look "less polished" than I'd like.

Any wheel/tire place has these weights, and you don't want to remove them unless you want to shimmy while you drive. If that's your thing, go for it.
