Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the weight per segment and how many come in a box?
Each segment weighs 1 oz (28g), four times heavier than a standard 1/4 oz segment. The box contains 90 segments on 30 pre-cut strips of 3, suited for heavier passenger vehicles, light trucks, and SUVs with larger balance corrections.
What makes 3M tape different from standard white tape?
3M pressure-sensitive adhesive is an industry benchmark for bonding strength on wheel surfaces. It outperforms generic white tape in high-heat, high-vibration, and repeated-wash conditions, and is the preferred choice for shops that want the lowest possible callback rate on weights coming loose.
When should I choose gray coated over black or zinc plated?
Gray coated is the most versatile finish for mixed-wheel shops, blending with silver, charcoal, and brushed alloy wheels without standing out. Black is the better choice for dark or gloss-black wheels where a gray weight would be visible. Zinc plated is preferred in coastal or high-salt environments where corrosion resistance on the weight body matters most.
Are these weights lead-free and compliant with state regulations?
Yes. Fully lead-free steel, compliant with all 50 U.S. state regulations including California. No special handling, storage, or disposal requirements, simplifying shop compliance compared to legacy lead weights.
How do I break the strips to the correct weight?
Each strip has pre-scored notches between segments. Snap off the number of 1 oz segments your balancer specifies with no cutting tools needed. For half-ounce increments, pair these with 1/2 oz segments since each segment is a fixed 1 oz unit.
