Want a shorter 40g strip that leaves less offcut?
They are lead-free steel (Fe) stick-on strips of eight 5g segments (40g), zinc plated with blue tape, for alloy wheels on passenger cars, SUVs and light trucks. The photo shows a bright, straight strip.
Shops that balance many small corrections like this shorter strip, because a 40g strip leaves less offcut than a 60g one.
The shorter strip also suits retail packs, where a 40g strip is easier to sell to customers who balance their own small wheels, such as trailers or garden equipment. In the workshop, it keeps offcuts down on the many small cars that need only 15g to 30g of correction, which adds up to a real saving over a year. Mobile fitters like it because the shorter strips pack neatly into small storage drawers. It is also a tidy choice for trailer and caravan wheels, which usually need only light corrections.
Why is zinc plating the economical choice here?
Zinc plating keeps this strip economical and rust-free, with a bright, straight look as shown in the photo.
A long strip is wasteful when most corrections are small. With eight 5g pieces, this strip gives up to 40g and leaves less offcut on the bench, which helps shops that balance many small city cars. The bright, straight strip shown in the photo is easy to cut cleanly at the gaps.

Is this the right weight for your wheels?
For longer strips, compare thick steel adhesive wheel weights 15g / 20g / 25g / 30g segments 7mm and steel adhesive wheel weights 1 oz x 6 zinc plated / black for suv. For coloured mixed strips, see grey coated steel adhesive wheel weights 5g x 12 rectangular, and for a clip-on weight, look at steel clip-on wheel weights zinc plated high quality steel.
Which vehicles and shops are they for?
The 40g strip sits inside the barrel of alloys on small cars, SUVs and light trucks. Because a 40g strip is shorter, it also stores neatly in small drawers and mobile service vans, where space is tight. Retail counters like it as well, since a short strip is an easy add-on sale for customers who balance trailer or caravan wheels themselves. It works well as a second strip next to a 60g strip. It suits small cars and compact SUVs with light corrections.
Any fitting tips for the workshop?
