Fivestars weights ensure mass accuracy and high-quality materials that retain their properties throughout use — ideal for efficient wheel balancing in daily car service operations.
Types of clip-on weights for alloy rims
This category includes both steel and lead weights. Their function is the same, but they differ in installation characteristics and legal compliance:
- Lead clip-on weights – easy to install due to high malleability. The material adapts to the rim edge and allows for quick installation.
- Steel clip-on weights – fully compliant with EU regulations, but may require more effort to install due to their stiffness.
Important note for resellers: lead clip-on weights are banned in several EU countries (including Slovakia and Austria).
Which clip-on weights are better for a client's car service?
It depends on the specific needs and vehicle types being serviced. Here’s a quick overview to help match the right solution:
- Lead weights – faster and easier to install, lower cost, but not EU-compliant in all regions.
- Steel weights – universal approval, more durable, but require precise application.
Are clip-on weights for alloy rims still relevant today?
Absolutely. Despite a growing trend toward adhesive weights, clip-on solutions are still used — especially on specific OEM wheels. For example, certain Mitsubishi alloy rims come equipped with clip-on weights from the factory. This method remains standard for many newer vehicles.
Why clip-on wheel weights matter for driving stability
The hook must grip the rim edge securely — even under challenging road conditions. Properly balanced wheels reduce steering vibrations and protect the suspension system. This translates into safer driving and longer component life for end users — a key value point for any professional tyre service.
