Default Wheel balancing weights magnesium wheels

I will be using wheel weight on the outside face of my magnesium front wheels N73. Any suggestions as to what where to buy some that are similar and will stay on. I plan on painting them before I have the new tires put on.

This is when came off. 1/4 oz 7gm 1/4" square

Default Steel Weights

Jegs has coated steel weights in the same increments as you are using, part number 555-65084 . I think that New York got lead ones banned.
