Fortune supplies steel, zinc, lead and roll adhesive wheel weights for precise wheel balancing. Choose gram or ounce sizes, surface finishes and tape options for wholesale, OEM and aftermarket applications.
Fortune adhesive wheel weights can be made from lead, zinc, steel. The materials you decide to go with depend on cost, installer preferences and regulations in your area, since some states prohibit the use of lead-based weights. Our stick on weights are also available in a range of finishes, such as black, grey or chrome, to further blend with the aesthetics of the tire and wheel package.
Fortune provides adhesive wheel weights in several finishes, including black, silver, and chrome. Additionally, we offer customized colors to match specific aesthetic requirements, ensuring that the weights blend seamlessly with the vehicle's wheel design.
Besides the color options, Fortune also offers coated finishes. These coatings not only improve the visual appeal but also provide additional protection against corrosion, which is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the adhesive bond over time.
Fortune offers a variety of adhesive tape options for stick-on wheel weights to cater to different environmental conditions, wheel sizes, and types. For instance, some tapes may offer superior resistance to extreme temperatures or moisture, while others might provide better adhesion on certain types of wheel materials.
Fortune offers Easy Peel tapes with a wider backing than the weight itself, making removal more efficient. This design not only saves time but also minimizes the hassle associated with cleaning up leftover adhesive.
By offering such a broad range of adhesive tapes, Fortune empowers customers to optimize the performance of their stick-on wheel weights, thereby enhancing the overall balance and efficiency of their vehicles.

Tire balancing is a crucial process that ensures even weight distribution on vehicle wheels. This process helps prevent vibrations, uneven tire wear, and potential damage to the suspension system. To achieve accurate results, several preparatory steps are necessary.
Fortune offers a wide range of adhesive wheel weights designed to cater to various wheel types and sizes. These weights are crucial for ensuring a smooth and safe driving experience by balancing the wheel and tire assembly. Among the diverse shapes available, Fortune’s Low Profile and Trapezium adhesive weights stand out for their unique features and benefits.
Fortune’s Low Profile adhesive weights are notable for their thinner segments. This design helps prevent the weights from scratching the wheel surface and reduces wear over time.
The thinner profile allows for easier contouring to the wheel’s shape, making installation more straightforward and efficient.
These weights are designed to withstand various environmental conditions, ensuring long-lasting performance.
By providing a precise fit, these weights help maintain optimal wheel balance, contributing to improved ride quality and tire longevity.
These segments are specifically designed with a trapezoidal shape, which facilitates easier contouring to the wheel’s shape during installation.
The trapezium design allows the weights to adapt more effectively to different wheel profiles, ensuring a secure fit and optimal balance.
This shape is particularly useful for wheels with complex or irregular profiles, where standard weights might not fit as well.
By providing a secure fit, these weights help prevent the weights from shifting or falling off while driving, which can lead to safety issues.
These wheel weights are part of the industry's move towards lead-free options, addressing environmental and health concerns associated with traditional lead weights. This shift aligns with global trends and regulations that aim to reduce lead pollution.
Fortune's stick on wheel weights come with a proven long-lasting coating that provides effective corrosion protection. This ensures that the weights remain durable and functional over time, even in harsh environmental conditions.
The adhesive wheel weights by Fortune are available in various tape types, offering flexibility and adaptability to different wheel designs and user preferences. This variety allows for better compatibility with a wide range of vehicles and wheel types.
The design of these wheel weights includes segments that allow for easier contouring to the wheel shape during installation. This feature ensures a snug fit, which is crucial for maintaining balance and stability while driving.

Acorn lug nuts that are not tightened to the correct torque can cause a wheel to come loose at highway speed — one of the most dangerous failures a driver can experience. Too loose, and the wheel works free over the first 100 km; too tight, and the studs stretch
Lug nuts with incorrect torque can cause a wheel to come loose at highway speed — one of the most dangerous failures a driver can experience. Too loose, and the wheel works free over the first 100 km; too tight, and the studs stretch or snap under load. The fix
A wheel comes off the balancer with a 0.25 oz imbalance marked at the 6 o’clock position. The operator cleans the spot, presses on an adhesive wheel weights strip, watches the display drop to zero, and rolls the wheel to the mounting rack — only to find the weight sitting
The stock wheel nuts on most cars do their work without anyone noticing them — until the day a wheel wobbles, a stud snaps, or a finish gets scratched during a tire swap. Aftermarket lug nuts solve the cosmetic problem but introduce a technical one: every wheel and stud combination
Adhesive wheel weights offer several advantages. They are generally less expensive and easier to conceal than clip-on weights, making them aesthetically appealing for alloy wheels.
However, they require a clean surface for effective adhesion and can lose effectiveness over time or in high temperatures.
Despite these drawbacks, adhesive weights are gaining popularity due to their low profile and ease of removal without damaging the rim.
Overall, they are a good choice for those prioritizing appearance and ease of use.
To use adhesive wheel weights, follow these steps:
Clean the Rim: Use a solvent to remove grease and silicone residues from the rim where the weight will be applied.
Identify Placement: Use a wheel balancer to determine the correct position for the weight.
Apply the Weights: Peel off the protective backing and press the weight onto the rim from the middle outwards. Hold for at least 20 seconds.
Allow Adhesion: Full adhesion is achieved after 72 hours.
Adhesive wheel weights are designed to stay in place, but they can fall off under certain conditions.
Factors such as excessive heat, improper application, or exposure to chemicals can weaken the adhesive, causing the weights to detach.
Additionally, if the wheel is not properly cleaned before applying the weights, the adhesive may not bond well, leading to premature detachment.
However, when properly applied and maintained, adhesive wheel weights generally remain securely attached to the wheel.
To remove wheel weight adhesive, follow these steps:
Clean the Area: Use a cloth to wipe away any loose debris.
Apply Adhesive Remover: Use a wheel weight adhesive remover or a solvent like acetone or nail polish remover. Apply it to the adhesive and let it sit for a few minutes.
Scrape Off Adhesive: Use a plastic scraper or a credit card to gently scrape off the adhesive. Avoid scratching the wheel.
Repeat if Necessary: If some adhesive remains, repeat the process until it’s fully removed.
Clean the Wheel: Use soap and water to clean the wheel thoroughly.
