Which clip weight should you fit on steel wheels?
They are lead-free steel (Fe) clip-on weights with zinc plating, made for the flange of steel wheels on passenger cars, vans and light commercial vehicles. The photo shows the value cast into each weight.
Workshops balancing steel wheels on cars, vans and light commercial vehicles buy these as their everyday steel-rim weight. Van and light commercial workshops use it as their default steel-wheel weight. Distributors serving rural areas, where steel wheels on pickups and vans remain common, also find the weight a steady seller through the year.
Why zinc plating on a steel-rim weight?
Steel rims leave the weight exposed on the outer flange, so zinc plating is a must. It protects against rust and keeps the cast value easy to read.
Steel wheels on vans and light commercial vehicles see rough use, so the weight needs a firm clip and good rust protection. This steel-rim weight provides both, and the cast value keeps the tray easy to manage. Steel wheels are also common on winter sets and budget cars, so demand can be high in seasonal peaks. A dedicated steel-rim weight with a firm clip and good rust protection keeps those busy weeks running smoothly, and the cast values make restocking quick.
Which profile should you order?

Which vehicles and shops are they for?
They fit the flange of steel wheels on passenger cars, vans and light commercial vehicles. Fleet operators and van workshops are frequent buyers. Light commercial work uses the middle and upper sizes most. They are a common choice for winter wheel sets, budget cars and work vans, all of which tend to run on steel rims. Fleet workshops order them in volume ahead of seasonal tyre changes, when demand rises sharply.
How do you get a clean, secure fit?
Hold the weight at the balancer mark, seat the clip over the flange and hammer it on firmly. Replace bent clips and spin the wheel to check. Clean the flange of rust and old residue before fitting, so the clip sits fully against bare metal.
