Explore Fortune FSZ5G and FSZ510G zinc adhesive wheel weights. Compare 60G strip specifications, surface options, packaging, tape choices and installation requirements.
Fortune zinc adhesive wheel weights provide a segmented balancing option for customers evaluating a lead-free material direction. The current range centers on two 60G strips: FSZ5G with twelve 5g segments and FSZ510G with a mixed 5g and 10g arrangement. Both are listed with uncoated or plastic-coated surface options.
FSZ5G is the straightforward metric option in the current zinc range. Twelve equal 5g segments make the strip suitable for balancing adjustments in 5g increments. A full box contains 100 strips, with four boxes in one case. Confirm strip dimensions, tape and coating before placing a bulk order.

FSZ510G provides four repeated 5g and 10g combinations. It has the same listed 60G total and the same 100-strip box quantity as FSZ5G. Choose between the two models based on the adjustment pattern preferred by the service operation and the approved product drawing.

Use an uncoated product only when its appearance and surface behavior fit the project requirements. Select plastic coating when you requires a coated visual finish. For customized colors, provide the requested color reference and confirm whether the coating changes the final product dimensions or package requirements.

Test the selected tape on the actual uncoated or plastic-coated weight and the target wheel finish. A tape result on one surface should not be assumed to apply to another coating.
3M Red and Norton Blue are listed as excellent for adhesion after 24 hours and high/low temperature resistance. Lohmann is also listed as excellent in both categories and provides an easy-release paper liner. Use the table to select samples, then verify them under the customer's operating conditions.
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.
Rotate the tyre and determine the wheel imbalance in both planes. Ensure that the weight, rim and ambient temperature have at least 15°C.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
Zinc is selected for its corrosion-resistant material direction. The actual result depends on alloy composition, surface condition, coating, wheel environment and exposure. Use verified test information if a customer requires a specific corrosion result.
FSZ products allow a buyer to discuss a zinc alternative rather than a lead product. The page should describe this as a lead-free direction, not as proof of compliance with every regional regulation.
The confirmed model data provides 5g increments or mixed 5g and 10g increments. This is the concrete balancing advantage of the current FSZ range. Other shapes or dimensions should be presented only after engineering confirmation.
Uncoated and plastic-coated options are listed for both current models. Choose the surface after reviewing wheel finish, appearance, tape compatibility and target-market documentation.
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
No, zinc is very resistant to rust. Zinc naturally forms a protective layer of zinc oxide, also known as “white rust,” when exposed to moisture, high moisture, and poor ventilation. Fortune’s zinc adhesive wheel weights are treated with an additional coating to improve their rust resistance.
To minimize the possibility of rust, it is recommended to ensure that the wheel surface is clean and dry before installation. Regular inspection and cleaning will help extend the life of the wheel.
Appearance: Zinc weights have a dull gray surface, while galvanized weights have a smoother, shiny silver surface.
Magnetic properties: Zinc is not magnetic and will not attract magnets.
Weight: Pure zinc has a higher density than galvanized products. If you have two weights of the same size, the zinc weight will feel lighter.
Test: Use a hard object to gently scrape the surface. If a different color metal is exposed, it’s probably galvanized.
Zinc adhesive wheel weights are usually manufactured from zinc alloy rather than pure zinc.
Performance Enhancement: The addition of aluminum, copper and other alloying elements improves the strength and hardness of zinc alloys. Casting properties are also better, allowing the production of complex shapes and high precision weights.
Controlling impurities: According to different application scenarios, the composition of zinc alloy is adjusted to adapt to surface treatment processes such as electroplating, oil spraying, etc. Pure zinc has poor adhesion in such processes.
Balance cost and performance: Pure zinc is more expensive and its performance may not meet demand. Zinc alloy reduces production costs while ensuring product performance.
