application of clip-on wheel weights
//
select the correct application
Refer to a wheel weightapplication guide to choose theappropriate knock-on wheelweight for the vehicle you areservicing. Verify that the wheelweight is correctly applied bytesting its placement on the wheelflange. The clip on the weightshould align seamlessly with theprofile of the flange.
//
Confirm The Correct Installation Location
Position the knock-on wheel weight at the correct location of the imbalance. Before striking it with a hammer, ensure that both the top and bottom of the clip are in full contact with the rim flange, while the body of the weight should not be touching the rim. Always use a soft-tip installation hammer to avoid scratching the rim during the installation process.
//
Strike The Weight
Once the wheel weight isproperly aligned, use a soft-tip installation hammer to strike the clip area. Only strike the clip area twice to secure the weight. Striking the body of the weight or hitting the clip more than twice could lead to clip retention failure or weight movement. Tapping the wrong location or tapping too many times can easily lead to installation failure.
//
Check The Weight Installation Effect
Once the wheel weight is properly aligned, use a soft-tip installation hammer to strike the clip area. Only strike the clip area twice to secure the weight. Striking the body of the weight or hitting the clip more than twice could lead to clip retention failure or weight movement. Tapping the wrong location or tapping too many times can easily lead to installation failure.

choosing the right clip-on wheel weights
Proper wheel balancing is critical to maintaining vehicle safety, improving driving comfort and extending tire life. Let Fortune help you understand how to choose the right lead clip-on wheel weights below.
What Is Zinc Clip-In Wheel Weights
In recent years, zinc clip-in wheel weights have gained popularity for their environmental benefits and performance characteristics. Zinc is a lightweight metal that has excellent corrosion resistance and is suitable for all weather conditions. While zinc weights are an excellent choice for many applications, they can be slightly more expensive than traditional lead weights.
Advantages of Zinc Clip-In Wheel Weights:
- Environmentally Friendly: Zinc is less harmful to the environment than lead, making it a more sustainable choice.
- Durability: Zinc weights resist rust and corrosion, ensuring they maintain their integrity over time.
- Performance: Zinc weights are effective for precise wheel balancing, helping to achieve a smoother ride.
Why Choose Clip-On Wheel Weights?
The clip-on wheel balancing block's ease of installation is one of its main benefits. It fastens swiftly and firmly to the rim using metal clips. Because of this, they are especially well-suited for fast tire changes or rebalancing tasks that require less time and effort to install.
Because of their straightforward design, fewer specialized tools are needed for installation, which eventually lowers costs. Additionally, they work with a variety of wheels. Their applicability in many vehicle categories is further enhanced by this.
Wheel Clip-On By giving the wheel more weight, weights assist guarantee uniform wheel rotation. This lessens vibration and enhances handling, both of which can otherwise impair comfort and vehicle performance.
What is the difference between lead and zinc wheel weights?
Of the various materials used for wheel weight blocks, lead and zinc are the most common. However, there are significant differences between these two materials that can affect their performance, environmental impact and overall usability.
Material composition and weight
The main difference between lead and zinc wheel weights is their material composition. Wheel weights have traditionally been made from lead, which has a high density and less weight to achieve the same balancing effect. This means that fewer lead weights are needed to balance a wheel.
Zinc is a lighter material than lead, which means that more zinc weights are needed to achieve the same balancing effect. Zinc weights are larger, but still effective in providing the necessary balance for a tire.
Environmental impact
One of the biggest differences between lead and zinc wheel weights is their impact on the environment. Lead is a toxic heavy metal that poses a serious threat to the health of humans and wildlife. If lead weights are not discarded properly, they can leach into soil and water and cause contamination. As a result, many jurisdictions have implemented regulations restricting the use of lead in wheel weight blocks.
Cost and Availability
Lead weights are usually cheaper than zinc weights because of the lower cost of lead as a raw material. However, price differences can vary depending on market conditions and regional regulations. The cost of zinc also fluctuates as environmental concerns increase the demand for zinc weights.
On the supply side, lead wheel weight blocks are still widely used and are available at many tire stores. However, zinc wheel weights are becoming more common as regulations tighten and the industry moves toward greater sustainability. Many manufacturers are producing them to meet consumer demand and environmental standards.
Performance and Durability
Lead weights tend to corrode over time, especially when exposed to moisture and road salt. This can lead to a decline in performance and the need for replacement. Zinc weights, while also susceptible to corrosion, last longer and maintain their effectiveness over time.
Frequently asked questions about clip-on wheel weight blocks
When to Replace Clip-On Wheel Weights
A simple inspection can usually determine if a weight needs to be replaced. If a weight has fallen off, is loose, or is showing signs of wear, it needs to be replaced. Also, if your wheel shows signs of imbalance (vibration, uneven tire wear), check that the weights fit properly and are in good condition.
What are the common failures of clip-on wheel counterweight blocks?
Vibration, uneven tire wear: These are the main signs that a wheel may be out of balance. When you feel vibrations while driving, especially at highway speeds, or notice that one part of the tire is wearing faster than another, it’s time to check the weights.
Signs of Improper Balance: Vibrations felt in the steering wheel or seat, uneven tire wear, or poor handling at highway speeds.
