What are the different types of clip on wheel weights?
The clip on wheel weights is fixed to the edge of the wheel rim through a hook structure. This fixing method is more secure than the adhesive wheel weight. During vehicle driving, especially when driving at high speed, braking frequently, accelerating, and passing through bumpy roads, the wheel will produce severe vibration and centrifugal force. The clip on wheel weights can withstand these forces and is not easy to fall off.
Classified by Material
1.Features of steel clip on wheel weights:
Steel has high strength and toughness, which enables the steel clip on wheel weights to withstand large external forces. Its cost is relatively low, and it is more suitable for some cost-sensitive occasions. For example, in the maintenance of economical cars or the wheel balancing adjustment of ordinary vehicles, the steel clip on wheel weights can effectively control the cost while ensuring the basic function.
2.Features of zinc clip on wheel weights:
Zinc is a relatively environmentally friendly metal, and zinc clip on wheel weights has good corrosion resistance. Zinc has a moderate density and performs well in balancing the mass and volume of the wheel weight. This type of wheel weight is also relatively neat in appearance, and its chemical properties are stable, and it will not react chemically with wheels or other substances as easily as some metals.
3. Features of lead clip on wheel weights:
Lead is an environmentally unfriendly metal and a metal with a high density. This feature enables lead wheel balance weights to provide a large mass in a relatively small volume. In wheel balancing, for some wheels that require a large mass to balance, lead wheel balance weights can effectively meet the needs.
