Do your car and SUV wheels take the IAW clip?
They are lead-free steel (Fe) clip-on weights in the IAW profile with zinc plating. The photo shows several clip shapes in the series, for passenger car, SUV and light truck flanges that take the IAW clip.
Car, SUV and light truck workshops whose wheels use the IAW flange are the main buyers. Because the series covers several clip shapes, one supplier can keep the whole IAW tray filled. Distributors like the IAW line because it lets them offer a matching lead-free clip to customers who used to buy IAW lead weights.
Is zinc plating enough on a steel clip weight?
Zinc plating is the standard protection for steel clip weights and it does the job well on most cars. It stops rust in normal driving, keeps a bright look on the flange, and keeps the cost low enough for high-volume shops.
The IAW profile is shaped to follow a particular flange curve, so the weight sits close to the rim and resists being knocked off by kerbs or tyre levers. Getting that fit right matters more than the material. Once it is right, a steel IAW weight holds as securely as the lead weights many shops used before, without the restrictions that now apply to lead in some markets.
How do you choose the profile?
An IAW weight only grips properly when the clip matches the flange, and the series includes more than one shape. Send us a photo of the rim edge and we will point you to the right one.

Is this the right weight for your wheels?
If your rims take a different clip, compare steel clip-on wheel balancing weights for steel rims and clip-on wheel balancing weights zinc plated. For truck wheels in the same family, see steel clip-on wheel balancing weights for alloy rims, and where a stick-on weight inside the barrel suits better, look at steel adhesive wheel weights 5g x 12 blue tape for motorcycles.
Which vehicles and shops are they for?
They are hammered onto the flange of passenger car, SUV and light truck wheels that use the IAW profile. Tyre shops and dealer service bays reorder them by size, so the busiest values never run out. Sizes in the middle of the range tend to move fastest, so it pays to watch those boxes most closely.
How do you make sure they stay put?
Hold the weight at the balancer mark, check the clip lines up with the flange, and tap it home with a weight hammer. If a clip bends, replace it rather than refitting it, then spin the wheel to confirm. Keep a few spare weights of each common size, because a clip that has been fitted once should not be reused.
How is the order shipped?
IAW weights are boxed by size, which keeps restocking a single value simple. Export cartons ship by sea or air to your port.

Yes. We can supply your own boxes, labels and barcodes for the IAW range.
