Want a compact lead strip with both 5g and 10g pieces?
They are coated lead (Pb) stick-on strips with alternating 5g and 10g segments and blue tape, for the inner barrel of alloy rims on passenger cars, SUVs and light trucks. The photo shows each segment clearly marked 5g or 10g.
Car workshops that like dense, short weights on alloy rims choose this strip, because lead packs a lot of mass into a small footprint. It also suits workshops that balance older cars with smaller alloys, where a short lead piece fits between the spokes more easily than a long steel strip.
Why coat a lead stick-on weight?
Bare lead dulls and marks quickly, so the coating keeps the strip clean and even in colour. It also protects the metal against salt and wheel-wash chemicals, and it means technicians handle a sealed surface rather than raw lead.
Lead is much denser than steel, so the same correction takes up less of the barrel. That helps on smaller alloys where space next to the spokes is tight. Mixing 5g and 10g pieces on one strip then keeps the number of cuts down, because most values can be reached with two or three pieces rather than a long run of 5g segments.
What tape options are there?
Blue tape is standard. If your customers ask for a branded adhesive, we can supply that too.
| Tape | Typical use |
|---|---|
| Blue tape | Standard blue tape for everyday workshop balancing |
| 3M or Norton tape on request | Branded tapes for customers who ask for a named adhesive |

What else should sit next to it on the shelf?
For a lead-free mixed strip, compare lead adhesive truck wheel weights 50g-250g blocks and strips and lead adhesive wheel weights strips grey / black coated, wide-brim tape. If you need a longer strip, see lead adhesive wheel weights 50g for trucks, and where the wheel suits a clip-on weight, look at extra-thick lead clip-on truck wheel weights 50g-400g.
Where are they used?
They go on the inner barrel of alloy rims on passenger cars, SUVs and light trucks. Lead is restricted in some markets, so check local rules before ordering; our steel and zinc mixed strips are the alternative. This strip is a practical second line for shops that use steel as their main weight but keep lead for tight spaces.
How should they be applied?
Clean and dry the spot, fit at room temperature and keep fingers off the adhesive. Break off the 5g or 10g pieces you need at the gaps, press them on firmly and spin the wheel again to check. Wash hands after handling uncoated edges, and keep the strips sealed in their box until use.
How are boxes and cartons made up?
Strips are packed in standard boxes, and the strips per box can be set to suit your shelf. Export cartons go by sea or air.
Is OEM packing possible?
Yes. Your logo and barcode can be printed on the boxes, and the coating colour can be changed.

Common questions
What does the strip carry?
Alternating 5g and 10g lead segments, each marked with its value.
Is it lead-free?
No, it is lead (Pb). If you need lead-free, our steel and zinc mixed strips do the same job.
Can I order other strip lengths?
Yes, other lengths can be made to order.
Can you supply private label packs?
Yes.
