How fine can a steel balancing step go?
They are lead-free steel (Fe) stick-on strips of twelve 2.5g segments, Dacromet coated and galvanized, with blue tape. The small 2.5g step suits fine corrections on alloy wheels of passenger cars and light trucks.
Shops doing precision balancing on small car alloys buy this strip, since 2.5g is the finest step in our steel range.
For precision work on small cars, the 2.5g step is the finest our steel range offers. Twelve pieces give 30g per strip, enough for most small-car corrections, and the Dacromet and galvanized finish protects the thin segments against corrosion so they stay tidy until the next service. Wheel specialists doing precision balancing on small cars are the main buyers. It is often bought together with a 5g strip for coarse steps.

What jobs does it suit?
They fit the inner barrel of alloy wheels on passenger cars and light trucks. Precision balancing matters most on small, light wheels, where a small error can still be felt through the steering. A 2.5g step lets the technician get close to zero, and the Dacromet finish means the tiny pieces stay tidy until the next service. Wheel specialists often use it after a coarser strip to finish the job. Wheel builders who assemble custom wheels sometimes use it for final checks too. Many shops keep it for final fine-tuning after a larger weight. It is fitted on small car alloys and light trucks where fine steps matter.
How do you get a clean, secure fit?
Clean the spot, fit at room temperature and press each 2.5g piece firmly. Spin to confirm. Small pieces are easy to drop, so cut them over the bench and fit them one at a time to the marked position, pressing each one before moving to the next. Fit at room temperature, and press each 2.5g piece firmly.
