Wheel Weight

Wheel weights are essential components used in vehicle maintenance to ensure proper tire balance. They are attached to the wheel to counterbalance uneven weight distribution, which can occur due to manufacturing defects or wear and tear. Properly balanced tires improve vehicle handling, reduce vibration, and enhance fuel efficiency.

Wheel Weight Solution for the Service Market

To help ensure that tires are properly balanced, Fortune offers a complete line of OE designed clip-on and adhesive wheel weights. Fortune’s wheel weights are available in lead and non-lead to comply with those states that ban the use of lead weights.

What types of wheel weights does Fortune offer

Fortune stands as a leader in the wheel weight manufacturing industry, offering a comprehensive range of products designed to meet the diverse needs of global customers.

With a strong focus on quality, innovation, and customer satisfaction, Fortune ensures that every wheel weight delivered meets the highest standards of performance and reliability.

Whether you are seeking knock-on, adhesive, or customized wheel weights, Fortune’s expertise and global reach make it the ideal partner for all your wheel balancing needs.

stick on wheel weights

Sticky wheel weights are stuck onto the wheel using a strong adhesive
Adhesive wheel weights are preferred for alloy wheels as they do not scratch the surface and provide a more discreet appearance.
They can contour to different wheel shapes, making them ideal for sports cars, trucks, and SUVs.
Fortune's adhesive weights feature superior corrosion resistance and are available in diverse shapes, including low-profile and trapezium segments.
To meet the needs of customers, Fortune offers segmented or rolled stick-on balancing weights, and customers can also choose coated or uncoated wheel weights.

clip on tire weights

Knock-on wheel weights are attached to the wheel rim using a clip.
The clip provides the necessary clamping force to secure the weight to the rim flange, while the body offers the mass required to offset any imbalance.
Clip-on wheel weights are widely used due to their ease of installation and removal.
Knock-on weights are available in various weight increments and clip styles to fit different steel and alloy wheel types, including P/ MC/ AW/ IAW/ FN/ EN/ T/ LH.
Fortune offers clip-on wheel weights with an OE standards plastic coating for corrosion resistance, and rigorous strict salt-spray lab tested.

Choosing between adhesive and clip wheel weights

Wheel Type

If your wheels have a pronounced lip or edge, clip-on weights are generally more suitable. They attach securely to this edge, providing a stable and reliable balance solution. If you have lip-less alloy wheels, stick-on weights are the better option. These weights adhere directly to the wheel, ensuring a smooth and balanced ride without the need for a lip.

Aesthetic Preferences

If maintaining a clean and sleek appearance is important to you, stick-on weights are less noticeable compared to clip-on weights. They are designed to blend in with the wheel, making them ideal for those who value aesthetics. Clip-on weights, while effective, can be more visible and may detract from the appearance of your vehicle’s wheels.

Driving Conditions

For harsh driving conditions, such as high speeds, rough roads, or extreme temperatures, clip-on weights offer superior durability. They are less likely to be dislodged or damaged under these conditions, ensuring consistent balance and performance. Stick-on weights may not withstand extreme environments as well as clip-on weights.

Environmental Concerns

If environmental sustainability is a priority, stick-on weights are generally more environmentally friendly. Many stick-on weights are made from materials that are safer for the environment compared to traditional clip-on weights, which often contain lead. This makes stick-on weights a preferable choice for those looking to minimize their ecological footprint.

Fortune wheel weights in different materials

Wheel balance weights made of different materials have different densities, which will affect their size, ease of installation and impact on the environment. At Fortune, we specialize in manufacturing high quality Lead, Zinc and steel wheel balancing weights to suit a wide range of automotive needs. With over 20 years of experience, our company has established itself as a leading supplier of wheel balancing weights globally.

Lead tire weights

Historically, lead has been the most common material used for wheel weights due to its high density and malleability. This helps prevent wear on tires and suspension systems and stabilizes vehicles at high speeds.
Lead has a density of approximately 11.3 grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³), which allows it to be smaller yet heavier, making it effective for balancing tires. This high density means that less material is needed to achieve the desired weight, resulting in more compact wheel weights.
However, lead poses significant environmental concerns due to its toxicity. As a result, many regions are now phasing out lead wheel weights and replacing them with more environmentally friendly alternatives like zinc and steel.

Adhesive Lead Weights

Zinc automotive wheel weights

Zinc is a non-ferrous material that offers several advantages as a wheel weight material. It is known for its flexibility and resistance to corrosion.
They are preferred for their ease of installation and removal, which requires less force compared to other materials like steel. Additionally, zinc is naturally anti-corrosive, meaning that zinc wheel weights will not rust, providing a durable and long-lasting solution for wheel balancing.
Zinc wheel weights have a density of about 7.2 g/cm³, which is significantly lower than lead. As a result, zinc wheel weights are slightly larger than lead weights to achieve the same balance.
Zinc weights are molded, allowing them to contour to modern rim styles better than lead weights. This molding process enables zinc weights to fit snugly around various wheel designs, enhancing their effectiveness and ease of use.

Adhesive Zine Weights

Steel wheel weights

Steel is another material being used for wheel weights, offering an environmentally friendly alternative to lead. Fortune has pioneered the use of steel as a material for balance weights.
Steel wheel weights are often stamped rather than molded, giving them a more rigid appearance compared to zinc or lead weights.
Steel has a density of approximately 7.8 g/cm³, which is slightly higher than zinc but still lower than lead. This means that steel wheel weights are similar in size to zinc weights but are harder and more prone to scratching wheels unless properly coated.
To mitigate corrosion, steel wheel weights are typically coated with a zinc-based anti-corrosive layer. This coating is essential to prevent rusting, especially if the coating is scratched or damaged.

Features of Fortune wheel weights

Superior Corrosion Resistance

Fortune's adhesive wheel wights undergo rigorous lab testing, including salt spray tests, to ensure they maintain their integrity even in harsh conditions. This superior corrosion resistance helps extend the lifespan of the wheel weights and prevents damage to the wheel rims.

Diverse Shapes Designs

Fortune provides diverse shapes of adhesive wheel weights. Low Profile Adhesive Weights are designed to be thinner, reducing the risk of scratching and wear on alloy wheels. Trapezium Adhesive Wheel Weights allow for better adaptation to the wheel's curvature, ensuring a snug fit and efficient installation.

Easy Peel Tapes

Fortune's stick on wheel weights feature easy-peel tapes, ensuring efficient and residue-free removal. The tape backing is wider than the weight, enhancing removal ease and providing a smooth experience without leaving any adhesive residue behind.

Powder Coating System

Fortune uses a powder coating system to ensure the best appearance and corrosion protection for its clip-on wheel weights. This process provides a durable finish that withstands environmental conditions.

Lead-Free Alternatives

Fortune offers environmentally friendly lead-free alternatives, suitable for a wide range of steel and alloy rims. These alternatives are designed to reduce environmental impact while maintaining performance.
