Do your technicians switch between ounce and gram balancers?
They are lead-free steel (Fe) stick-on strips of twelve 1/4 oz (7g) segments with blue tape, zinc coated or plastic coated, for alloy wheels on passenger cars, SUVs and light trucks.
Shops that use both ounce and gram balancers like this strip, because each segment is stamped 1/4 oz and 7g. A clear easy-peel tape version is also available, and its liner lifts quickly at the edge in busy bays.
Many tyre chains run balancers that read in ounces at some sites and in grams at others. A strip stamped 1/4 oz and 7g on every segment means one product works everywhere, which simplifies purchasing and training. The clear easy-peel tape version adds a faster option for busy bays. Tyre chains that run ounce balancers at some sites and gram balancers at others find it especially useful. Head offices of tyre chains like it because one item number covers every branch.
Zinc or plastic coating: which should you pick?
Zinc coating is the economical choice, while plastic coating adds extra protection against salt and cleaners.
Each segment is stamped 1/4 oz and 7g, so it reads the same on ounce and gram balancers. Twelve pieces give 3 oz per strip. The clear easy-peel tape version gives busy bays a faster option, because its liner lifts quickly at the edge.

For grey or black coatings, compare grey coated steel adhesive wheel weights 5g+10g x 4 and black coated steel adhesive wheel weights 5g x 12 rectangular. For gram strips, see grey coated steel adhesive wheel weights 5g x 12 rectangular, and for a clip-on weight, look at clip-on wheel balancing weights zinc plated.
Where does it earn its place?
Quarter-ounce strips are fitted inside the alloy barrel on cars, SUVs and light trucks. Because one strip covers both measuring systems, it also simplifies purchasing for multi-site chains. Head office can order one product for every branch, and staff moving between branches find the same strip wherever they work. Keep both the blue-tape and easy-peel versions if your technicians have different preferences. It is fitted on cars, SUVs and light trucks in both gram and ounce markets.
