Key Differences: Steel vs. Lead Wheel Weights

• Steel is a harder material than lead; not malleable Steel wheel weights are designed

to fit the precise wheel flange Unlike lead weights, steel weights

cannot be clipped, tapped on sides, or applied to multiple styles of wheel flanges Matching the proper steel wheel

weight to the wheel style is critical

KNOW THE FACTS

Steel Vs. Zinc

100% environmentally safe Superior Fit High Density High resistance to corrosion More than 75% recycled

domestically More cost effective

There are two main alternatives to lead wheel weights, steel and zinc. The concensus in the industry is that steel is the superior alternative. Because of its high density, smaller size, cost advantage, and environ-mentally friendly composition, steel significantly surpasses all other lead alternatives. Being the weight itself is smaller, it results in excel-lent fit and more one-spin balances. Zinc is a secondary contaminant, and there is increasing evidence to adverse effects to the environment and our health. There are no recy-cling programs available for zinc wheel weights. Steel wheel weights can be recycled along with scrap wheels. Zinc intake has been shown to depress several indicators of immune function. Even low levels of zinc can interfere with the body’s utilization of copper and iron, raise LDL (bad cholesterol) and lower HDL (good cholesterol).
