Wheel Weights | Superior Auto Equipment

We stock a full range of wheel weights through TECH — both clip-on styles for steel wheels and adhesive (stick-on) weights for alloy wheels, in the sizes and finishes below.

Important: TECH International products are available to customers within our 16-county service territory in northern and central Michigan only.

The Basics

Clip-On vs. Adhesive

The style you need comes down to the wheel, not the vehicle — steel wheels and older/basic alloy wheels take a clip-on weight, while painted, polished, or chromed alloy wheels almost always take an adhesive weight instead.

Clip-On

Hangs on the rim's outer lip

A spring clip hooks over the flange edge of a steel wheel (or some older alloy wheels). Fast to install and remove, and the standard choice for steel-wheeled vehicles. Sold in a range of profiles that match different flange shapes — that's what the style code and color are for.

Adhesive / Stick-On

Sticks to the inside of the wheel

A weatherproof adhesive strip applies to the inner barrel of the wheel, out of sight from the outside. Used on painted, polished, and chrome alloy wheels where a clip would scratch the finish or simply won't seat on the flange.

Clip-On Styles

Color-Coded Clip-On Weights

Each color is a different clip profile matched to a different wheel flange shape. These are general industry pairings — always check the fit against the actual wheel, or call and we'll help you match it.

P — Black

0.25–5.00 oz · Lead, uncoated

Steel wheels. The standard style for passenger car steel wheels — our highest-volume clip-on weight.

T — Grey

0.25–3.00 oz · Lead, coated

Steel wheels. A tighter flange profile than P, built for thicker-flange steel wheels — common on light trucks.

MC — Yellow

0.25–4.00 oz · Lead, coated or uncoated

Aluminum wheels. The most common alloy wheel profile — usually the first one to try.

AW — Red

0.25–3.00 oz · Lead, coated or uncoated

Aluminum wheels. An alternate profile for alloy wheels where MC doesn't seat correctly, often on older wheels.

LH — Purple

0.25–2.00 oz · Lead, coated

Aluminum wheels. A narrower flange profile for alloy wheels that don't take MC or AW.

FN — Orange

5–60 gram · Lead coated (one steel-coated size)

Aluminum wheels. Sized in grams for a thinner, low-profile flange — common on newer import-style wheels.

Heavier-Duty Applications

Stick-On Styles

Adhesive Weights

Adhesive weights matter just as much as the clip-on styles — most of today's alloy and painted wheels can't take a clip at all, so the adhesive strip is often the only option that won't mark the wheel. A few things worth knowing when picking one: wipe the mounting surface clean and dry first so the strip actually holds; low-profile segments sit flatter against contoured wheel faces where a standard segment might rock or lift; black segments disappear against dark-finish wheels while natural steel blends with lighter ones; and the cold-weather formulation keeps its tack down into freezing temps, which matters for winter tire changeovers up here. Strips break apart along the segments to build up to the correction needed.

Materials

Lead vs. Steel/Zinc, Coated vs. Uncoated

Lead is the traditional standard — dense, so the weights are more compact for a given ounce rating.
Steel and zinc weights are lead-free alternatives, used where lead is restricted or simply preferred by the shop.
Coated weights have a corrosion-resistant finish and a cleaner painted look on the color-coded clip-on styles.
Uncoated weights are bare metal — functionally the same, just without the finish.
