Default Metal Tape for Weights

Is there an item on Amazon on another source someone can recommend where I can get Metal tape to keep weights from falling off the wheels?
Also, would A/C work well?

I find that foil HVAC tape works well, available at most hardware stores. Just make sure the wheels are clean where you're applying the tape.

Well, I do have some HVAC tape lying around in the house. That is a good option. Thanks for the confirmation

been using aluminum tape on weights ever since i started DEs. do it without fail now - no matter the car.

just go to home depot or lowes. i press it on the weight face first, then press the tape down the edges of the weight, and then press down on the barrel. make as much direct contact as possible.
