Want a dark, discreet clip weight for car wheels?
They are lead-free zinc clip-on weights for passenger car wheels, finished in a dark protective coating. The weight hammers onto the rim flange at the point the balancer marks and stays visible, so the coated look matters.
Car workshops that want a discreet weight on the visible flange order this dark coated zinc clip. Workshops that service many dark-wheeled cars find it blends in better than bright weights.
Why a dark coating on a zinc clip weight?
The dark coating keeps the weight low-key on the flange and protects the zinc.
A bright weight on the flange is the first thing many customers notice after a tyre change. The dark coating keeps this zinc clip discreet, and zinc keeps it lead-free. It is a simple way to make the finished wheel look tidier. The coating also protects the zinc from salt and wheel cleaners, so the weight looks the same at the next service.

Who usually orders this weight?
They fit the flange of passenger car wheels. It is a sensible choice for workshops that see many cars with dark painted, gunmetal or black alloys, where a bright clip weight stands out on the flange. The dark zinc weight keeps the wheel looking as the owner intended, and being lead-free it suits markets that restrict lead. Dealers often pair it with black adhesive strips so every weight on a dark wheel matches, whichever fitting method the rim needs. Because the zinc body is coated before packing, the dark colour arrives even across the whole batch. Tell us your size mix and target quantity, and we can suggest a sensible carton split for a first order so you can test the weights in your bays before buying in volume. It also works well on dark steel wheels fitted to some commercial vehicles. Branded cartons and custom labels are available for repeat orders. Keep it next to bright clip weights so technicians can match the wheel colour. It suits passenger cars with dark or painted alloy wheels.
Any fitting tips for the workshop?
Seat the clip with a weight hammer and spin to confirm. Avoid chipping the dark coating when seating the clip.
