Need a fine-step steel strip that copes with salted roads?
They are lead-free steel (Fe) segmented stick-on strips with a Dacromet coating and blue tape, for alloy wheels on passenger cars, SUVs and light trucks. The photo shows a twelve-segment strip.
Workshops in salted-road markets choose this twelve-segment strip for fine steps with strong corrosion protection.
In regions where salt is spread on roads for months each year, plain plated weights can show rust spots before the next tyre change. Dacromet resists that far better, so the weight still looks clean when the wheel comes off again. The twelve-segment strip keeps steps fine enough for any passenger car correction. Workshops in coastal towns and snowy regions, where corrosion is a constant problem, buy it most. Fleet operators in northern markets also choose it, because their vehicles often go a full winter between services.
What is Dacromet, and why does it last?
Dacromet is a zinc-aluminium flake coating that resists corrosion much better than standard plating, so the strip stays tidy in harsh winters.
A twelve-segment strip gives fine, even steps for passenger car corrections, and the Dacromet coating protects the steel far longer than plating where roads are salted for months each year. Its matt grey finish also sits well on silver and grey alloys, so the weight looks neat as well as lasting longer.
Blue, branded or colour-coded tape?
Each Dacromet strip ships on standard blue tape.

Is this the right weight for your wheels?
For Dacromet ounce strips, compare thick steel adhesive wheel weights 15g / 20g / 25g / 30g segments 7mm and steel adhesive wheel weights 1 oz x 6 zinc plated / black for suv. For grey coated strips, see steel adhesive wheel weights 1/2 oz x 6 zinc / grey / black, and for a clip-on option, look at IAW Series Steel Clip-On Wheel Balancing Weights Zinc Plated.
Where does it earn its place?
Dacromet strips are fitted inside alloy barrels on cars, SUVs and light trucks. Distributors that supply garages in snowy regions often make it their default steel strip, because it removes one common customer complaint: rust spots on wheel weights after the first winter. Many shops in winter markets use it as their everyday strip instead of a plain plated one. It is fitted on cars, SUVs and light trucks that face harsh winters, road salt and frequent washing.
How do technicians fit them?
Clean and dry the spot, fit at room temperature and press each segment firmly. Spin to check. After fitting, give the wheel a final wipe so no cleaning fluid is left around the tape edges. In cold months, let the wheel reach room temperature before fitting so the tape bonds fully.
How is the order shipped?
Dacromet twelve-segment strips come in standard boxes inside export cartons, shipped by sea or air.
Can you supply private label packs?
