Black rounded 5g+10g weights for dark alloy wheels
This is a lead-free steel (Fe) stick-on weight for the inner barrel of black, gloss-black and dark grey alloy rims on passenger cars and light trucks. Each 60g strip carries four 5g and four 10g segments with rounded (fillet) corners, which give a softer outline than square-cut segments. Zinc plating under the black finish resists corrosion and makes the weight very hard to spot.
Dark wheels are now common on SUVs, sport trims and aftermarket rims, so tyre shops, dealer service departments and distributors increasingly keep a dedicated black weight next to their grey and zinc stock.
What does a black weight do for your shop?
Customers who choose dark wheels often notice a bright weight through the spokes the moment they collect the car. A black weight avoids that conversation, while the mixed segment sizes keep the job quick.
- Low visibility through open-spoke designs on dark wheels
- Professional finish customers notice on premium and sport rims
- 5g+10g mix for fast corrections with fewer pieces
If you prefer rectangular segments, see the black 5g+10g steel weights. If you only need 5g steps, compare the black coated 5g x 12 strip.
Five tapes to choose from
The tape does not change the look on the wheel, but it affects workshop handling and how the product is presented in your range.
| Tape type | Typical use |
|---|---|
| Blue tape | Standard general-purpose adhesive tape for everyday workshop balancing |
| 3M tape | Branded 3M adhesive for buyers whose customers ask for a recognised named tape |
| Norton tape | Branded Norton adhesive as an alternative named tape |
| Red tape | Colour-coded liner to separate product lines on the shelf |
| White tape | Colour-coded liner for private label ranges or a clean retail look |
Tell our sales team your climate and the rims you work on, and we will recommend a suitable tape.

Is this the right black weight for you?
Use black on dark rims, grey coated weights on silver and grey rims, and zinc plated 5g+10g weights where a metallic look does not matter. The mixed pattern suits shops handling a blend of passenger car and SUV wheels; if corrections are usually larger, the silver 10g x 10 steel weights save more time, and for fine steps the 2.5g x 12 strip gives smaller increments.
For steel wheels, clip-on weights are the usual choice and fit the rim flange instead of the barrel.

Buyer questions about black rounded weights
Do these weights contain lead?
No. They are steel (Fe), zinc plated and black coated.
What does “rounded corner” mean in practice?
The segments have rounded (fillet) corners instead of square ones. Weight and fitting are exactly the same; only the outline is softer.
How do I make sure the weight stays on?
Dark wheels hide brake dust, so clean and dry the marked spot thoroughly, fit at room temperature and press firmly along the whole strip.
Can you supply private label boxes?
Yes, logo printing and private label packing are available on request.
