Product Information

Full details

The Mehr Wheel Balance Weights (TW701) are essential tools for professional mechanics and automotive enthusiasts looking to maintain smooth vehicle operation and prevent tire wear. These adhesive weight strips offer a precise solution for balancing wheels, ensuring stability at high speeds. While they provide excellent adhesion for standard rims, users should ensure the mounting surface is thoroughly cleaned and degreased before application to achieve a permanent, reliable bond.

FAQs

Can these weights be reused?

No, once the adhesive backing is applied and cured, it is designed for permanent installation. Attempting to remove and re-apply will significantly reduce the bond strength.

Are these weights made of lead?

The product description specifies these are for general wheel maintenance; please consult local regulations regarding the use of lead-based weights in your specific region.

How many segments are in a single strip?

Each strip contains 8 segments in total: four 5g segments and four 10g segments.

Do I need any special tools to install them?

No special tools are required beyond a cleaning agent for the rim and a pair of cutters or pliers to snap the segments if necessary.

Can I use these on matte finish wheels?

Yes, but ensure you clean the area gently to avoid damaging the matte finish, and test the adhesive on a small, inconspicuous area if you have concerns about the finish.

Troubleshooting

Weights falling off shortly after application

The rim surface was likely contaminated with wax or grease; remove the weight, clean the area with isopropyl alcohol, and apply a new strip.

Difficulty separating weight segments

Use a utility knife or professional cutting tool to score the backing if the pre-cut lines are not yielding easily.

Weight touching brake components

Ensure the weights are positioned on the correct inner diameter of the rim; if clearance is still an issue, you may need to relocate the weights further inboard.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Precise weight segmentation for accurate balancing
  • High-quality adhesive backing ensures longevity
  • Compact dimensions fit most modern alloy wheels
  • Bulk quantity of 100 strips provides great value
  • Resistant to road debris and thermal expansion

Cons

  • Requires thorough surface preparation for best results
  • Adhesive may be difficult to remove once fully cured
  • Not suitable for use on excessively curved or dirty rims without cleaning

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Proper installation is critical for the effectiveness of the Mehr TW701 weights:

  1. Surface Cleaning: Use a degreaser or isopropyl alcohol to remove brake dust, road grime, and wax from the application area on the inner rim.
  2. Drying: Ensure the surface is completely dry before peeling the adhesive backing.
  3. Application: Apply firm, even pressure to the strip for at least 30 seconds to activate the pressure-sensitive adhesive.
  4. Curing: Allow the adhesive to cure for several hours before subjecting the wheel to high speeds or extreme weather conditions.

These weights are compatible with most steel and alloy rims, provided the surface is clean and relatively flat.
