Need Help Finding the OEM Stick-On Wheel Balancing Weights

Sorry if this has already been discussed but I did a search and couldn't find it. One of the little rectangular weights used to balance my OEM 893M wheels has come loose. Came from the factory with them. Looking to replace the entire 7 brick strip with the EXACT same weights as the wheels are still balanced. Any help is appreciated as there aren't any helpful markings on them.

I’d either pop that one off and glue it back on or, get the wheel balanced and put black weights on it. God knows why they aren’t black from factory.

Yes. Plan A is to get it back on (I pulled it off) or replace that entire strip with the EXACT same thing in the exact same spot. I think BMW uses Hofmann brand weights but I can't find the exact part. Then I was going to paint/color them black while I have the wheels off for the winter.

Plan B is to bring the wheels to my mechanic and get them all rebalanced. He used black weights on my winter wheels and they look better including a larger surface area for the tape although the tape itself is white and you can see that from some angles...

Well, I found the OEM part...

Hofmann Power Weight Type 359

Actually available in silver AND black. Thanks BMW for putting silver ones on black wheels!

Now I just need to find someone that will ship a small quantity to the US.
