Want a coated steel strip that still keeps costs sensible?
They are lead-free steel (Fe) segmented stick-on strips with a coated finish and blue tape. The photo shows zinc, grey and black strips side by side, for alloy wheels on passenger cars, SUVs and light trucks.
Workshops that want a coated strip but still watch the cost per gram buy this one for everyday alloy work.
The coated strip also helps shops that want a visible quality step without changing how they work. Technicians cut and fit it exactly like a plated strip, so there is no retraining, yet the customer sees a neater, more even weight when they look through the spokes. It is a simple way to lift the perceived quality of a wheel service. Shops that want something tidier than bare plating, without paying for a premium finish, are the typical buyers.
What does a coating add over bare plating?
A coating over the steel seals the surface and gives it an even colour. Wheels that go through car washes often stay tidier with a coated weight than with bare plating.
A coating closes the surface of the steel, so moisture and car-wash chemicals take longer to dull it. On wheels with open spokes, that keeps the weight from looking shabby between services. It is a modest upgrade over plating that customers can actually see. The coated strip uses the same steel and tape as our plated strips, so technicians fit it in exactly the same way.
How do you pick the tape?
Blue tape is standard; branded tapes are available if customers ask for them.
| Tape | Typical use |
|---|---|
| Blue tape | Standard blue tape for everyday workshop balancing |
| 3M or Norton tape on request | Branded tapes for customers who ask for a named adhesive |

Is this the right weight for your wheels?
For plain plated strips, compare steel adhesive truck wheel weights 50g x 2 and 100g zinc plated and thick steel adhesive wheel weights 15g / 20g / 25g / 30g segments 7mm. For grey or black coatings, see steel adhesive wheel weights 1/4 oz x 12 rounded corner zinc / grey / black, and for a clip-on option, look at FN Series Steel Clip-On Wheel Balancing Weights Coated.
What jobs does it suit?
The coated strip goes inside the barrel of alloy wheels on cars, SUVs and light trucks. Many shops keep it as their standard strip for customer cars and use plain plated strips for trade work. It works well on family cars and SUVs that are washed often.
How should they be applied?
Clean and dry the spot, fit at room temperature and press the strip firmly. Re-spin the wheel to check. Avoid scraping the coated face with tools when removing the liner.
What should you expect on delivery?
Coated steel strips are packed in standard boxes and shipped in export cartons by sea or air.
Is OEM packing possible?
Yes. We can pack the coated strip in your own boxes and adjust the coating colour if your range uses a house colour.
