Rounded corner 5g x 12 weights in grey and black
This lead-free steel (Fe) stick-on weight for the inner barrel of alloy rims carries twelve 5g segments with rounded (fillet) corners on a 60g strip. Uniform 5g steps suit precise balancing on passenger car and light truck wheels, and the rounded shape gives a softer outline on the rim than square segments. It comes in three finishes that differ only in colour and tape, so one supplier covers silver, grey and dark rims:
| Version | Finish | Tape | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grey (005C) | Zinc plated + grey coating | Standard | Silver and grey alloy rims |
| Grey wide tape (005CW) | Zinc plated + grey coating | 2 mm wide edge | High-volume bays wanting faster peeling |
| Black (005B) | Zinc plated + black coating | Standard | Black and dark alloy rims |
Most shops start with grey and black to cover silver and dark wheels, then add the wide tape grey for technicians who fit the most weights.
Why pick rounded segments over square ones?
Rounded corners do not change the weight or how the strip balances a wheel; they change the outline on the rim and the feel in the hand, which some workshops and their customers simply prefer. If you prefer square corners, see the rectangular grey 5g x 12, wide tape grey 5g x 12 and black 5g x 12 strips.
Which tape do you need?
The grey and black versions can be supplied with any of these tapes:
| Tape type | Typical use |
|---|---|
| Blue tape | Standard general-purpose adhesive tape for everyday workshop balancing |
| 3M tape | Branded 3M adhesive for buyers whose customers ask for a recognised named tape |
| Norton tape | Branded Norton adhesive as an alternative named tape |
| Red tape | Colour-coded liner to separate product lines on the shelf |
| White tape | Colour-coded liner for private label ranges or a clean retail look |
The wide-tape version uses blue tape whose liner extends about 2 mm beyond the strip, giving technicians an edge to grip. Tell our sales team your climate and rim types and we will recommend a tape.

Picking the right version and format
Choose grey for silver and grey rims and black for dark rims; if a bare metal look is acceptable, see the zinc plated 5g x 12 weights. Twelve 5g segments suit most passenger car corrections. For fewer pieces per correction, look at 5g+10g strips such as the zinc plated 5g+10g x 4; for fine steps there is the 2.5g x 12 strip, and high-volume bays may prefer a 5g roll.
On steel wheels, use clip-on weights; adhesive strips are intended for alloy barrels.
Packing, mixed colours and shipping
Strips are packed 25 per bag and 4 bags per box, so each box holds 100 strips, and boxes go into export cartons for sea or air freight. Mixed-colour orders are packed by box, so grey, wide tape grey and black can arrive in one shipment; just tell us the split.
Can the range carry your brand?
Yes. The factory supports minor, drawing-based and sample-based customization, including logo printing on boxes, private label packing, custom tape types and alternative coating colours. Send your artwork and we will agree the details and lead time with you.

Questions about the rounded 5g x 12 range
How is this different from your rectangular 5g x 12 strips?
Only in the corner shape of the segments. Weight, finishes and packing are equivalent, so you can choose on looks alone.
Is there lead in any of the versions?
No. All three versions are zinc plated, coated steel (Fe).
Can I mix colours in one order?
Yes. Tell us the quantity of each version and we will pack them by box.
How do I make sure the strips stay on?
Clean and dry the marked spot on the inner barrel, fit at room temperature and press firmly along the whole strip after peeling the liner.
