Do your rims take the narrow ST clip?
They are lead-free steel (Fe) clip-on weights in the ST profile, zinc plated for corrosion protection. They suit passenger cars, SUVs and light trucks whose rim flange takes the ST clip.
Workshops whose rims take the ST clip order this profile. ST has a narrow shoulder, so it is a specialist line rather than a general one. Specialist wheel shops tend to order it in smaller quantities alongside their main profiles. Because the profile is specialised, buyers usually order it alongside a general clip so every rim type in the bay is covered.
How does zinc plating protect an ST weight?
Zinc plating protects the steel against rust on an exposed flange and keeps the weight bright. It is the practical finish for a specialist profile that still needs to be economical.
The ST profile has a narrow shoulder that suits particular rim lips. On those rims, a general clip may not grip properly, while an ST weight seats cleanly. Zinc plated steel keeps the specialist profile lead-free and affordable. It is worth labelling ST stock clearly in the tray. Because the narrow shoulder looks similar to other profiles at a glance, clear labels prevent fitting errors and save time on rims that genuinely need the ST clip.
Which rim flange does it suit?
Because ST is a narrow-shoulder profile, it only suits matching flanges. Please send a rim photo before you order.

Is this the right weight for your wheels?
For other profiles, compare steel clip-on wheel balancing weights 150g for trucks and steel clip-on wheel balancing weights 3oz coated. If you need a general clip, see steel clip-on wheel balancing weights for steel rims, and for an adhesive option, look at steel adhesive wheel weights 2.5g blue tape coated.
Where does it earn its place?
They clip onto the flange of passenger car, SUV and light truck wheels that take the ST profile. Keep ST weights separate from other profiles so they are not fitted to the wrong rims. They are usually bought in modest quantities by specialist wheel shops and by distributors who want to offer a complete set of clip profiles. If you are unsure whether your rims need the ST profile, a quick flange photo is enough for us to advise.
How do technicians fit them?
Check the ST clip against the flange, set it at the balancer mark and tap it home firmly. Replace bent clips and re-spin. Check the shoulder sits fully on the lip before the final tap.
How are they packed?
ST weights are boxed by size and shipped in export cartons by sea or air.
Can we put your brand on the box?
Yes. We can pack them in your branded boxes.
