application of adhesive weights
//
preparatory work
Rotate the tyre and determine the wheel imbalance in both planes. Ensure that the weight, rim and ambient temperature have at least 15°C.
//
clean the mounting area
Use pre-cleaning wipe to clean oil and dust on mounting area, Then wipe with a dry cloth to make sure the wheel surface is dry and clean. Be sure to test the cleaning agent on a small area to ensure it will not damage the wheel’s finish.
//
tear the segments
Once the imbalance point is located and the proper amount of segmented weights have been chosen,according to the properties of the tape of the adhesive wheel weight, use scissors or tear it by hand to cut off the required number of balance weights.
//
peel off the protective backing
Peel off the protective backing without touching the adhesive surface. Be sure to not contaminate the adhesive tape with dirt or oils once the protective backing has been removed. Otherwise, it will affect the adhesion of the tape.
//
set up the weight
Stick the weight and press the weight from the middle towards the outer edges to match the rim perfectly. The pressure should be at least 100 kPa.
//
final check
After applying the weight and ensuring the appropriate pressure has been exerted, it is essential to verify that the weight is securely adhered before reinstalling the assembly on the vehicle. To confirm proper fitment, gently grasp the sides of the weight with your fingers and give it a slight pull. If the weight stays firmly in place without any movement, the setup process has been successfully initiated.

everything you need to know about lead adhesive wheel weights
When driving at high speed, tire imbalance magnifies the impact, resulting in reduced vehicle handling and increased safety hazards. Lead Adhesive Wheel Weights can effectively solve the imbalance and ensure the stable rotation of the vehicle wheels.
Fortune’s lead adhesive wheel weights are a popular choice for those seeking a trusted option. Providing precise balancing, they provide excellent balance and stability, reduce tire wear and improve fuel efficiency.
How do I know if I need wheel weights?
It is best to have the wheel judged by a professional if any of the following occurs.
If you feel a vibration in the steering wheel or body, especially at higher speeds (50-70 mph). You may also feel vibrations in the floorboards or seats. Uneven tire wear is also a sign. Also, cars pulling to one side are usually associated with wheel alignment problems.
why lead adhesive wheel weights are a better choice
Lead adhesive wheel weights offer several advantages over traditional clip-on weights. One of the main advantages is ease of installation. Unlike clip-on weights that require a specific rim design to install properly, adhesive weights can be applied to almost any wheel surface. They are able to provide a more secure mount. The adhesive backing ensures that the weight stays in place. You don’t have to worry about the weight falling off or shifting out of place.
benefits of zinc adhesive wheel weights
It is important to note that lead is a heavy metal that presents environmental and health concerns. As a result, some regions have implemented regulations to restrict or phase out the use of lead adhesive wheel weights in favor of environmentally friendly alternatives such as zinc or steel. Lead remains a popular choice in many areas due to its performance and cost advantages.
Higher density
Lead has a significantly higher density than iron and zinc. This means that for the same amount of weight required for balancing, the lead weight can be smaller in size. Less likely to interfere with other components.
Adhesion performance
The adhesive backing on lead adhesive wheel weights is specially designed to form a strong, long-lasting bond with the rim. Less likely to peel off the wheel. Iron and zinc have harder surfaces and may not bond as effectively.
Corrosion resistance:
While not as corrosion resistant as some specialized zinc coatings, lead offers more than enough corrosion resistance for most applications.
Cost effectiveness
Lead is a relatively inexpensive material, making lead adhesive wheel weights a cost-effective solution where use is permitted.
How to choose lead adhesive wheel weights?
Choosing the right lead adhesive wheel weights can be daunting, especially with the myriad of options on the market. In this article, Fortune will summarize some of the factors that influence your choice and hopefully help you.
Factors Influencing Lead Rubber Wheel Weight Selection
Weight and Size
Choose based on the weight and size requirements of your specific vehicle. The size and shape should match the rim. Always consult your vehicle manual or consult with our professionals to determine the correct weight.
Adhesive Quality
Another factor is the quality of the adhesive used. Strong adhesives ensure that the weights stay in place during severe road vibrations and are also more resistant to adverse weather conditions.
Lead Content
Higher lead content generally means less volume and more weight, which helps maintain balance without adding bulk.
Cost
Cost is always a factor to consider. Lead rubber wheel weights can vary greatly in price. While it can be tempting to choose the cheapest weights, consider the long-term value. Investing in high-quality lead rubber wheel weights can reduce frequent replacements and ensure better performance.
Ease of Installation
Another factor to consider is ease of installation. Some lead adhesive wheel weights come with pre-applied adhesive and can be easily installed without any additional tools. Some require additional adhesive or tools to be used.
How sticky are lead adhesive wheel weights?
They rely on adhesive to attach to the wheel, but their adhesion can vary depending on the weight type and specific application. Fortune’s high-quality adhesive-type weights are engineered to withstand vibration and temperature changes.
Factors that affect wheel weight adhesion:
- Adhesive Quality: High-quality wheel weights use a strong automotive-grade adhesive that bonds well to clean metal surfaces.
- Surface Preparation: Dirty or corroded surfaces can reduce adhesion.
- Temperature Sensitivity: Most adhesives work best at moderate temperatures (about 50-80°F or 10-27°C). Too cold and the adhesive may not stick; too hot and the adhesive will soften.
- Cure Time: Some weights require several hours to fully bond before exposure to extreme conditions.
- Weight Material: Aluminum or lead weights generally have good adhesion, while zinc weights may require extra attention.
- External Factors: Water, brake dust, and road debris can weaken adhesives.
How sticky are lead adhesive wheel weights?
Lighter wheels generally improve handling, acceleration, braking, and fuel economy, while lighter wheels make the car feel more stable.
Optimizing wheel weight is essential to improving vehicle performance and safety. Using lightweight materials such as alloy or carbon fiber can significantly reduce unsprung weight while maintaining structural defects. This will result in a more responsive, agile and comfortable driving experience.
Reducing wheel weight reduces unsprung weight, allowing the suspension system to react more quickly to the tabletop of the flip tray. Achieve more sensitive mass handling.
Heavier wheels increase the vehicle’s inertia, making it more difficult to change direction. Reduced agility and reaction speed, especially at high speeds or in tight turns.
Lighter wheels require less energy to rotate, allowing the engine to work more efficiently and reduce fuel consumption.
