Still using lead on heavy wheels? Here is a 50g truck strip.
They are 50g stick-on weights for truck and commercial vehicle wheels, made of lead (Pb). The photo shows a black-finished strip of large segments on blue tape, sized for the bigger corrections heavy wheels need.
Commercial workshops that still use lead on heavy wheels buy this strip of large 50g segments.
Where lead is still permitted on commercial wheels, its density is a real advantage: the same correction takes up less of the barrel, which helps on truck rims with limited flat space. The black finish keeps the weight discreet and protects the surface. For markets moving away from lead, our steel truck strips do the same job. It is ordered mainly where lead is still allowed on commercial wheels. Fleets that are switching to lead-free often order both side by side during the changeover period, and the black finish keeps the heavy lead pieces discreet on dark truck rims.
Why a black finish on a lead truck weight?
The black finish covers the lead, keeps the weight discreet and protects the surface on a truck wheel.
Lead is dense, so a 50g piece is short and fits neatly on a truck barrel. The black finish covers the lead and keeps the weight discreet. Large segments mean fewer pieces per wheel, which speeds up fitting on heavy vehicles.

What jobs does it suit?
They fit the inner barrel of truck and commercial vehicle wheels. Lead is restricted in some markets, so check local rules; our steel truck strips are the alternative. Commercial tyre centres that still use lead on heavy wheels usually keep it next to their steel truck strips. That way, they can offer customers a choice and move to steel as local rules change, without changing their fitting routine. Keep steel truck strips as a lead-free alternative. It suits trucks and commercial vehicles.
How do you make sure they stay put?
Degrease the spot, fit at room temperature and press each piece firmly for several seconds. Spin to check. Degrease the barrel thoroughly before fitting.
