Tire weights should definitely be used. Stick-on tire weights in a gleaming black finish were exactly what I was looking for. There's nothing like putting random weights in your opponent's tires to make things interesting. They are also ideal for use on radio controlled race cars when you need to add weight to meet minimum weight requirements or change the balance of the car. br>br>The vibrations drive them crazy. br>br>They are also ideal for use on radio controlled race cars when you need to add weight to meet minimum weight requirements or change the balance of the car.
Clean . Aluminum rims are not easily adhered to. I'm currently dealing with a couple of customer returns because the weights fell off during use and we had to re-install them. balance.
Don't waste your time with cheap eBay weights; these are great weights. I own a wheel and tire shop, and I balance everything with these weights. The adhesion is excellent, and they are fully painted and attractive. They're low enough in profile that you won't have to worry about them colliding with brake calipers or anything like that. If you can't get the weights to stick, it's probably due to a buildup of brake dust and other road grime; simply sand the area you want to put them on with a scotchbright pad or sand paper, then apply brake cleaner.
These aren't very good at sticking to freshly cleaned wheels. To keep the weights in place, I had to cover them with duct tape. br>br>I've previously worked on cars/tires in shops and have experience mounting and balancing tires, so I'm familiar with the process.

These were purchased to take to Discount Tire for wheel balancing. Why does Discount Tire only use 1/4 oz weights is beyond me. Before using these (purchased 1/4, 1/2, and 1oz weights) from Discount, the wheels had never been properly balanced. It's probably because they stacked 15 1/4 oz weights in a 6" long strip rather than applying the directed weights to the specified area.
The same weights can be purchased for a third of the price in a hobby shop; the package is heavy, but the weights are ideal for model building. Steel is used for the weights. br>br> Holding them with a small pencil makes it simple to place them perfectly. magnets of various sizes br>br>Easy to separate by using an x-acto knife to cut the backing. I used a to knife to cut the thin plastic tape that was on the top of each strip before I cut it. The backing paper can be difficult to remove in order to expose the adhesive, but once again, an x-acto knife comes in handy. The job is done with an acto-type knife.
My only complaint/question is why do black wheel weights have white adhesive? The industry standard on gray/silver weights that 99% of cars have is black adhesive. All I did was run a black sharpie around the edge of the white adhesive and save It's not a major issue, but it shouldn't be.
