Product Information

Steel wheel weights are becoming an industry standard for health and safety. While they may be larger in size than lead weights, steel weights have the highest density of cost-effective alternatives with no known environmental or health issues. Lower density materials, such as zinc, produce longer weights, so much so that in higher weight increments, the center of gravity of these weights can be below the rim flange, resulting in weight chasing and balance accuracy issues. Wheel weights manufactured from higher density materials such as steel do not have this issue. Understanding the nuances of each wheel weight material in the market can help your technicians perform a better balance every time.

Come to think of it, the spacers I'm going to use are light colored also. Could I paint/Plasti-Dip the outer, exposed edges (avoiding the inner/outer faces of course)? Like lead wheel weights, zinc weights are cast and provide a more contoured appearance on the wheel. However, they are also less dense, making them larger on the wheel. In addition, they are harder to produce to tight weight tolerances and are currently under review for environmental impact. There are also no recycling programs available for zinc wheel weights.

Adhesive Weight Application Lead wheel weights have been manufactured for decades and are known to be more malleable and denser than zinc and steel. With greater density, a lead weight allows technicians to install a smaller, yet heavier, weight. I have a bunch of Plasti-Dip left over from a long ago project. Would that work? My assumption is that the minimal additional weigh from the Plasti-Dip wouldn't be enough to unbalance the wheel. Challenges I see with this route is somehow taping off the rest of the wheel to avoid overspray.

But, depending on where you live, you might not legally be allowed to sell, distribute or service a vehicle with lead wheel weights. According to the EPA and the U.S. Geological Survey, lead weights that fall off vehicles and are ground up on roadways can contaminate water sources. Lead is known to be highly toxic and has been linked to a variety of health hazards. Our Trax zinc wheel balance weights are designed to fit a wide range of steel wheels and ensure maximum retention. Zinc is a popular choice for many weight manufacturers because of its excellent corrosion resistance. Steel is also widely used as it can be easily recycled. Our alloy wheel weights have been approved by top brands such as Volvo and Renault. These universal weights are designed to fit alloy wheels on nearly all European cars. Our alloy weights are also lead free. We supply a range of weights to suit all wheels and tyres. When wheels rotate they can often hop or wobble due to the asymmetries of mass. As well as causing ride disturbances, this can cause your steering wheel and/or entire vehicle to wobble. The suspension is also affected and speed increases, making your vehicle unsafe to drive.I took all my wheels off, throughly washed inside barrels and entire wheel. Blue taped around each weight, 1000 grit sandpaper each one carefully, wiped afterwards with denatured alcohol, then carefully painted by hand using the brush end. Let each coat dry for 1hr (was doing all wheels same time, so time actually flies), then clear coated afterwards.
