FAQs

Can I reuse these weights?

No. The TW700 weights use a pressure-sensitive adhesive that loses its bonding integrity once removed from the rim.

Are these weights suitable for high-speed driving?

Yes, when applied correctly to a clean surface, these weights are designed to withstand the centrifugal forces experienced during highway driving.

Do I need special tools to cut the segments?

While the segments are designed for easy separation, a standard pair of wire cutters or tin snips can be used for cleaner cuts.

Are these compatible with chrome rims?

Yes, they can be used on chrome rims, provided the surface is cleaned thoroughly to remove any polishing residue that might prevent the adhesive from sticking.

How many 5g weights are on one strip?

Each strip contains four 5g segments and four 10g segments, totaling 60g.

Troubleshooting

Weights falling off shortly after application

This is usually caused by improper surface cleaning. Ensure the rim is completely free of brake dust, silicone-based tire shine, and moisture before re-application.

Difficulty removing backing paper

Use a thin plastic scraper or your fingernail to initiate the lift at the edge of the adhesive strip to avoid damaging the weight coating.

Weight imbalance persists after installation

Re-check the balancer settings and ensure the weights are placed exactly at the position indicated by the calibration machine.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Flexible configuration with 5g and 10g segments
  • Durable black finish for improved aesthetics
  • Professional-grade adhesive strength
  • Standardized size fits most rim profiles
  • High-capacity 60g per strip format

Cons

  • Requires specific surface preparation for adhesion
  • Adhesive is not reusable if removed
  • Cannot be used on rims with extreme surface contamination
  • Not suitable for non-stick or coated surfaces without cleaning

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity and effectiveness of the TW700 weights, follow these best practices:

  1. Surface Prep: Clean the application area on the rim thoroughly using a non-residue degreaser. Moisture, brake dust, or wax will prevent the adhesive from bonding correctly.
  2. Temperature Consideration: Apply weights in an environment above 15 degrees Celsius (60 degrees Fahrenheit) to ensure the adhesive reaches its full tack strength.
  3. Application: Peel the backing paper carefully. Press firmly across the entire length of the weight for at least 15 seconds to activate the pressure-sensitive adhesive.
  4. Compatibility: These weights are compatible with most standard steel and aluminum alloy wheels. For highly textured or powder-coated surfaces, verify adhesion strength after mounting.
  5. Storage: Store strips in a cool, dry place to prevent the adhesive from degrading over time.
