15g Clip-On Wheel Weight for Steel Rims (Type 101)
Hoffman | Clip-on wheel weight | Meets OEM requirements | Pack of 100
The 15g weight is one of the most frequently used sizes in Hoffman's type 101 range for steel rims. It matches the imbalance typically found on passenger car wheels in regular use, which is why it tends to move fastest off the shelf. Each pack holds 100 pieces, enough for a full day of balancing work in a busy tyre shop.
Design and Fitting
The weight is fitted with a mounting clip shaped to match the flange of a steel rim. It is fixed by clipping it onto the rim edge - no adhesive, no extra hardware. Its profile follows the curve of the wheel, so once fitted it sits flush against the rim rather than sticking out.
Clamping force meets OEM requirements, the same standards car manufacturers apply when fitting wheels at the factory. In practice that means the weight stays put under braking, over rough surfaces and during sustained driving at speed.

Application and Fitting
Once the wheel is mounted on the balancer, the machine indicates the position and mass needed to correct the imbalance. The 15g weight is placed on the rim flange at that point and clipped on until the mount grips the edge firmly. For in-between imbalances, it is combined with lighter weights from the same range rather than fitting two 15g pieces side by side.
- Balance correction on passenger car wheels with steel rims for typical imbalances
- Everyday use in tyre shops and wheel balancing stations
- Pairs with other weights from the type 101 range (available from 5g to 55g)
