Is a 5g roll faster than strips for a busy tyre centre?
It is a roll of 1200 lead-free steel (Fe) 5g segments on blue tape, zinc plated with a grey look, as the photo shows. Technicians pull and cut the number of pieces the balancer asks for.
High-volume tyre centres and distributors buy rolls because technicians pull and cut exactly the pieces they need.
Rolls suit high-volume centres because they remove the need to stock several strip lengths and cut waste. A technician pulls the strip, cuts the exact number of 5g pieces and fits them, then the roll goes back on the shelf or dispenser. The 1200-piece and 1000-piece rolls cover most shops’ needs. It also suits distributors who repack weights into smaller retail quantities.
Why choose a grey roll?
Grey blends with most alloys, and black or silver rolls are available for other wheel colours.

Not sure this is the one?
For strips instead of a roll, compare steel adhesive truck wheel weights 50g x 2 and 100g zinc plated and steel adhesive wheel weights 5g x 10 4mm thin rounded zinc / grey / black. For 2.5g steps, see thick 10g x 10 steel adhesive wheel weights 7mm zinc / grey / black, and for a clip-on option, look at steel clip-on wheel balancing weights 3oz coated.
Which customers buy it most?
Pieces cut from the roll go inside the barrel of car, SUV and light truck alloys. A dispenser keeps the roll tidy and close to the balancer. High-volume tyre centres and fleet workshops are the typical users.
How do technicians fit them?
Pull the strip from the roll, cut the pieces at the gaps, clean the spot and press firmly. Spin to confirm. Return the roll to its box or dispenser after each job so dust stays off the exposed tape. Cut cleanly at the gaps so every piece keeps its full 5g.
How is the order shipped?
Each roll is packed one per box, and a dispenser shelf or cutter can be supplied.
