Clip on wheel weights for aluminum wheels

When choosing clip on wheel weights for zinc alloy wheels (usually referring to wheels made of zinc alloy or steel wheels with galvanized surface), special attention should be paid to the compatibility of the clips, the corrosion resistance of the materials and the wheel edge structure. The following are the recommendations and selection points for clip-on wheel weights suitable for zinc alloy wheels:

1.Key points for selecting clip on wheel weights

(1) The shape of the clip should match the edge of the wheel hub

The edge of the zinc alloy wheel hub is usually thicker and harder, so a clip design with high strength and good elasticity should be selected:

Heavy-Duty Curved Clip

Suitable for the thickened edge of the zinc alloy wheel hub, providing stronger clamping force to prevent vibration and falling off.

For example: Shengshiweiye's AW, IAW, MC, FN, EN and other series.

 

Wide-Jaw Clip

Suitable for zinc alloy wheels with wider wheel hub edge (commonly used in commercial vehicles or modified wheels).

(2) Material selection

Balance weight body: It is recommended to choose zinc or steel to avoid electrochemical corrosion with the zinc alloy wheel hub (such as aluminum and zinc contact may accelerate oxidation).

Clip part: It needs to be high carbon steel or stainless steel to ensure elasticity and fatigue resistance.

(3) Surface treatment:

Nickel-plated or plastic-sprayed wheel weights are preferred to prevent rainwater and snow-melting salt from corroding the contact surface between the hook and the wheel hub.
