At MT-RSR, we take pride in providing a diverse selection of high-quality Wegmann clip-on and adhesive wheel weights. Proper balancing is essential to ensure optimal vehicle performance and safety, which is why we offer different weight profiles to cater to various needs. Our clip-on wheel weights are designed to attach securely to the lip of the wheel, while our adhesive weights can be attached discreetly to the inside of the rim.
Selecting the appropriate wheel weight profile is a crucial process requiring several factors. The clip-on weight profiles available depend on the make, model, and age of the vehicle. Technicians use a chart to measure the profile when selecting weights. Additionally, there are informational charts that show the appropriate weights to use for OEM wheels. However, aftermarket wheels may not have the same profile as the original ones. Considering these factors in choosing the optimal wheel weight profile that ensures vehicle safety and longevity is essential. Our team of experts is available to assist you in selecting the best option for your specific needs, whether for a passenger vehicle, heavy-duty truck, or industrial equipment.
When selecting clip-on wheel weights, it is important to determine whether your wheels are made of steel or aluminum. Each metal has unique properties, and the type of clip-on wheel weight you require will depend on your wheel material. Let's look closer at the distinction between zinc and steel wheel weights.
ZINC CLIP-ON WHEEL WEIGHT
Zinc Clip-On Wheel Weights are a smart choice for people who value durability. They are highly corrosion-resistant, even in harsh environments, ensuring long-lasting performance. Zinc is an environmentally friendly and non-toxic material, which makes it a preferred option for wheel weights. Additionally, the soft nature of zinc minimizes the risk of damaging the wheel surface during installation or removal. By selecting zinc wheel weights, you can achieve cost-effective tire balancing while receiving excellent value for money without compromising performance or durability.
STEEL CLIP-ON WHEEL WEIGHT
Steel clip-on wheel weights are a reliable option for balancing tires. These weights are durable steel and can withstand wear and tear from regular use. They are highly resistant to bending or breaking, even under heavy loads or rough driving conditions, making them a dependable choice. Steel has a higher weight density than other materials, such as zinc, allowing more weight to be packed into a smaller space. This ensures precise balancing of tires, even when additional weight is needed. They can be easily installed on most standard wheel rims, making them suitable for both OEM and aftermarket wheels. Steel clip-on wheel weights are resistant to environmental factors such as heat, moisture, and chemicals, ensuring consistent performance and reliability over time.
Now that we understand the various types of clip-on weights used for wheels, it's worth taking a closer look at the advantages of using adhesive wheel weights. Adhesive weights are a popular alternative to traditional clip-on weights, offering several benefits.
ADHESIVE WHEEL WEIGHT
Adhesive wheel weights are applied directly to the surface of the wheel by using an adhesive backing. They are usually made of steel or zinc and come in thin strips or segments. Adhesive wheel weights are used when clip-on weights cannot be applied on wheels with intricate designs or coated finishes. They are generally placed on the inner surface of the wheel, making them invisible from the outside, which helps maintain the vehicle's aesthetic appeal. Unlike clip-on wheel weights that attach to the rim flange, adhesive weights adhere directly to the inside of the wheel. This reduces the risk of damage to the wheel finish caused by traditional clip-on weights, such as scratching or marring. Adhesive wheel weights are flush with the inner surface of the wheel, contributing to smoother airflow and improved aerodynamics. This can help enhance fuel efficiency and reduce wind noise at higher speeds. Adhesive wheel weights are easy to install and require minimal equipment and expertise. They adhere securely to the wheel surface, providing a reliable and cost-effective balancing solution compared to traditional clip-on weights. Moreover, adhesive wheel weights can be easily removed and replaced during tire changes or rotations. Their adhesive backing allows for straightforward installation and removal without leaving residue or causing damage to the wheel surface.
