Keeping mag wheels balanced?

Allright, I've got a serious vibration problem in the oldsmobile, it's just a steady vibration at 50-55...

Add another 10-20mph onto that, and you've got some serious isues holding the stearing wheel.

Turns out, that I've lost some wheel weights during my recent high speed crusining.

I balanced all 4 tires in shop, used the special mag wheel weights, and everything was fine. Then, during a 60mph jaunt during the test drive, i got a vibration again.

Wheel weight(s) fell off. Out of the 4 (of 8) I can see, only one stayed on. My instructer did a demo on my car, I only did one (which stuck)...

Unless my instructor screwed up all of the wheels that he did, I think there's a problem somewhere on the balancing end.

Can anybody help me?
