Fitting a lot of black alloy wheels?
They are lead-free steel (Fe) stick-on strips of four 5g and four 10g segments, (5+10g) x 4, with blue tape. The steel is zinc plated and, as the photo shows, finished in black, for alloy wheels on passenger cars, SUVs and light trucks.
Workshops that fit a lot of black alloy wheels order this mixed strip.
Mixed 5g and 10g pieces reach most corrections with fewer cuts than an all-5g strip, and the black coating keeps the result invisible on dark wheels. That combination suits dealers and tyre shops that see many black SUV and sport wheels, where both speed and appearance count. Dealers that sell black-wheeled sport trims often buy the mixed black strip by the carton. Many shops also use it on dark winter wheel sets.
Does a black coating really make a difference?
The black coating over zinc plating hides the weight behind dark spokes.
Mixed 5g and 10g pieces reach most corrections with fewer cuts, and the black coating hides the weight on dark wheels. Zinc plating under the black coat protects the steel if the surface is ever scratched.

Blue tape backs the black mixed strip as standard.
| Tape | Typical use |

Which related weights should you compare?
For grey mixed strips, compare steel adhesive truck wheel weights 50g x 2 and 100g zinc plated and steel adhesive wheel weights 1/4 oz x 12 rounded corner zinc / grey / black. For black 5g strips, see wide tape grey steel adhesive wheel weights 5g+10g x 4 rectangular, and for a clip-on option, look at silver steel clip-on wheel balancing weights 100g / 150g for trucks.
Who usually orders this weight?
The black mixed strip goes inside the barrel of dark alloys on cars, SUVs and light trucks. Four 5g and four 10g pieces reach most corrections in few cuts. Dealers that sell many black-wheeled SUVs and sport trims often make it their main black strip. Customers who chose dark wheels for their look tend to notice a bright weight immediately, so having a black mixed strip ready avoids that conversation at handover. Keep it next to a grey mixed strip so technicians can match the wheel colour. It is fitted on black and gunmetal alloys on cars, SUVs and light trucks.
How do technicians fit them?
Clean the spot, fit at room temperature, press firmly and spin to confirm. Use a plastic scraper rather than a metal blade if you need to remove an old weight first, so the black coat on neighbouring pieces stays unmarked. Avoid scratching the black coat with tools when trimming.
