No, but they are very affordable and well worth the cost. Once you see them you'll understand why they are not reusable.

I have reattached the weights with 3M double-sided tape that I had in the garage, spun it up to 90 MPH and they are still on. Only time will tell. I appreciate all the recommendations to switch to Dyna Beads, but I just paid for mount and balance on both wheels. The balance is just fine if I can get the weights to stay on. Maybe next go round with tires I’ll try the beads. I’m headed back out to test my tape some more.

Ditch the weights and balance with Dynabeads.

So far the 3M tape is holding the weights, no slippage to 100 MPH. I checked out the Dyna Beads website I have not found any reference to speed rating for the Dyna Beads. I'll try 'em one of these days, but with a loose media moving freely inside your tire, there has to be some undesireable chacterisic that is not being acknowledged or talked about. I realize the tried and true method of dynamic balancing with weights is old technology, but up until this stick on weight issue on this particular wheel, it hasn't failed me in 30 years. Thanks to all for the input.
