Need big 1oz pieces for SUV and light truck alloys?
They are lead-free steel (Fe) stick-on strips in 1oz segments, zinc plated with a grey look and blue tape, for silver and grey alloy wheels on passenger cars, SUVs and light trucks.
Ounce-based shops handling larger SUV and light truck corrections buy this strip, since 1oz pieces reach big values quickly.
Large SUVs and pickups often need corrections of three ounces or more. With 1oz segments, that is three pieces instead of twelve quarter-ounce ones, which saves time and keeps the weight compact. The grey look over zinc plating suits the silver and grey wheels that are still common on these vehicles. Pickup and SUV specialists are typical buyers. It also helps on wide aftermarket wheels where corrections tend to be larger than on factory rims.
Why does a grey look suit 1oz segments?
The grey look over zinc plating suits silver and grey alloys, and the plating keeps rust off the large segments.
Big wheels need big corrections. A 1oz segment reaches them in fewer pieces than a quarter-ounce strip, saving time and tape. The grey look suits silver alloys. Fewer pieces also mean a shorter weight behind the spokes, which looks neater on large wheels.
How do you pick the tape?
Blue tape is standard on the 1oz strip, and branded tapes can be quoted.

What else should sit next to it on the shelf?
For a 1 oz x 6 strip, compare thick steel adhesive wheel weights 15g / 20g / 25g / 30g segments 7mm and steel adhesive wheel weights 5g x 10 4mm thin rounded zinc / grey / black. For half-ounce steps, see rounded corner steel adhesive wheel weights 5g x 12 grey / black, and for a clip-on option, look at steel clip-on wheel weights zinc plated high quality steel.
What jobs does it suit?
They go on the inner barrel of alloy wheels on SUVs, light trucks and larger cars. Pickup and SUV owners often fit larger aftermarket wheels, which can need bigger corrections than standard rims. Having 1oz segments on hand lets technicians handle those jobs without building long runs of small pieces, and the grey finish suits the silver and machined-face wheels popular on these vehicles. Keep a finer strip on hand for the final step. It suits SUVs, pickups and light trucks.
How do technicians fit them?
Clean the spot thoroughly, fit at room temperature and press each 1oz piece hard. Spin to check. On large SUV wheels, check that the barrel is free of brake dust near the spokes, as it builds up quickly on heavy vehicles and weakens the bond. Press each 1oz piece firmly for full tape contact.
