Self Adhesive Weights
Every tyre fitter knows that nothing ruins a smooth drive quite like an unbalanced wheel. When a customer drives away from your workshop, they expect zero wobble, no steering wheel vibration, and a quiet ride. Achieving that perfect balance on modern alloy wheels comes down to having reliable, high-grade stick on weights within arm’s reach.
Our complete range of self-adhesive wheel balance weights is built specifically for busy tyre bays, MOT stations, and mobile tyre fitting equipment setups across the UK. Whether you are balancing diamond-cut rims on an executive saloon, wide wheels on a heavy commercial 4x4, or slender motorcycle rims with dedicated motorcycle tyre fitting equipment, we provide the dependable grip and accurate weight segments you need to get the job done properly first time.
Why Modern Alloys Need Quality Adhesive Weights
Traditional knock-on weights will always have their place on steel wheel weights applications, but modern alloy wheels demand a completely different approach. Clipping a standard lead or zinc weight onto the rim flange of a painted or polished alloy can easily chip the lacquer, scratch the metal, and invite corrosion, making dedicated alloy wheel weights the essential workshop choice.
Adhesive weights sit neatly inside the barrel of the wheel, completely hidden behind the spokes. This preserves the clean appearance of the rim while protecting the wheel from physical damage. Because modern brake callipers sit closer than ever to the inner rim, our weights feature low-profile designs that easily clear internal braking components without catching.
Strong Tape That Won't Let You Down
A balance weight is only as good as the tape holding it in place. There is nothing worse than carrying out a precision balance only to have the weights fly off on the motorway because of road grime, water spray, or brake heat.
Every strip and roll in our collection features premium, high-tack adhesive tape engineered to handle the toughest British driving conditions.
- Resistant to extreme heat cycles generated during heavy braking
- Weatherproof against rain, road salt, mud, and pressure washing
- Easy-peel backing paper with wide finger-lift edges so you do not waste time picking at corners with greasy gloves
- Leaves minimal stubborn residue behind when removed during future tyre changes
Finishes to Match Any Rim
Modern wheels come in a huge variety of colours and finishes, from factory silver to satin black and custom bronze. Sticking bright silver zinc weights onto a gloss black wheel looks untidy and stands out like a sore thumb. We stock multiple finishes across our wheel balance weights range to help you give your customers a neat, professional result.
Black Coated Adhesive Weights
Black alloy wheels are standard on thousands of modern vehicles. Our black-coated adhesive weights feature a durable, anti-corrosion coating that blends seamlessly into dark barrels and behind gloss black or gunmetal spokes. They offer the same high-strength adhesion while remaining practically invisible to the driver.
Bright Silver and Zinc-Plated Weights
For classic silver painted alloys, diamond-cut rims, and polished faces, our zinc-plated weights offer a tidy, uniform look. The zinc plating acts as a protective barrier against corrosion and oxidisation, ensuring the weights do not rust or stain the wheel over time.
Matte Grey Weights
Ideal for OEM replacements and standard alloy refurbishments, our matte finish weights provide a clean, non-reflective appearance that matches original factory wheel weights.
Flexible Weight Sizes and Segment Configurations
Every balancing job requires a slightly different touch. Sometimes you need a quick run of standard weights to counter a heavy spot; other times, fine-tuning requires smaller increments. We supply options suited to every vehicle type.
Standard 5g and 10g Segments
The staple of any tyre bay. Split strips featuring alternating 5g and 10g blocks allow you to quickly match the exact readout on your automatic wheel balancers or semi-automatic wheel balancers without unnecessary cutting.
Pure 5g Strips
Perfect for fast, everyday balancing where simple 5g steps give you total accuracy.
2.5g Motorcycle Weights
Motorcycle rims require exceptional precision and smaller profiles. Our 2.5g segments offer ultra-fine balancing adjustments on narrow rims without overwhelming the wheel.
Strips vs Rolls of Wheel Weights
Every workshop operates differently, which is why we supply self-adhesive weights in both pre-cut boxed strips and continuous bulk rolls.
Pre-Cut Boxed Strips
Packed in convenient boxes of 50 or 100 strips, these are the classic choice for busy tyre bays. Each strip contains segmented blocks that snap or cut cleanly with minimal effort. They store easily on tool trays, mobile fitting benches, and tyre machine adaptors and accessories shelves.
Bulk Continuous Rolls
If you run a high-volume garage or want to cut down on workshop waste, our 5kg rolls of adhesive weights are the ideal choice. Dispensed from a sturdy roll, you cut off only the exact amount of weight required by the machine. This eliminates discarded single segments, lowers your cost per gram, and keeps your workstation tidy.
Tips for Getting the Best Bond Every Time
Even the strongest adhesive needs a clean surface to bite into. To make sure your weights stay put for the life of the tyre, keep these workshop best practices in mind.
1. Remove Old Adhesive Completely
Always scrape away old tape and foam using an alloy-safe plastic scraper from your tyre repair tools and accessories kit or an adhesive eraser wheel.
2. Degrease the Rim Barrel
Road grime, brake dust, and tyre lube from tyre mounting paste wax and lube will prevent the glue from bonding. Wipe the sticking area thoroughly with specialist repair chemicals and sealants or an alcohol wipe and let it dry.
3. Check the Temperature
Adhesives set best when the wheel rim is not freezing cold. In the depths of winter, warming a chilled alloy rim with a quick blast from a heat gun or keeping your bay warm with diesel and paraffin heaters helps the adhesive bond instantly.
4. Firm, Even Pressure
Once placed in the correct location indicated by your balancer, press firmly along the entire length of the weight strip to ensure total contact across the tape.

Great after sales service...
I had an issue with the tyre changer, rang for help, got a video call back within minutes and then received a live walk through the problem talking me through the actions required to rectify.
I also enquired about operating instructions for the balancer as I was struggling to understand some of the written ones. I then got a live training session on the video call followed up with a link to a training video in a message.
Excellent after sales service from Neal.
Great customer service and responsive...
Great customer service and responsiveness. I was dealing with a gentleman named Neal, who was very responsive to my phone calls, answered all my questions, and provided me with solutions. I would definitely recommend him to anyone and will use his excellent service in the future. Keep up the good work, guys.
Quality of service...
Anthony has now dealt with my orders on 2 occasions, very helpful and polite and noticed our previous order ... can’t recommend more he knows his equipment from the conversation had, haven’t needed to use the “help or after service” but certainly wouldn’t think twice of doing with how Anthony has dealt with anything we asked from enquiry to buying. Top class service delivery over Xmas 2019 was as agreed and the delivery driver was top class in rush hour so made him a brew minus the bacon butty as we had none left!! Give the guys a pay rise but price increase.
Thanks again look forward to purchasing from you soon. 100% service from start to end.
