Uncoated balance weights

Coated balance weights

Coated balance weights protect the aluminium rim against contact corrosion. The special HOFMANN coating offers an optimal match to the rim colour. Coated HOFMANN balance weights are tested for 480 hours in a salt spray test according to the automobile industry standards DIN 50 021 SS, ASTM B 117-73. This special coating method guarantees protection against corrosion even under extreme conditions.

Electrochemical contact series

Electric charge of various materials

Al: -1.69	Zn: -0.76	Fe: -0.44
Pb: -0.13	Cu: +0.35	Au: +1.38

The higher charged electronegative material will be corroded by the weaker one.

Note

When applying HOFMANN balance weights to any type of rim you have to comply with our mounting instructions, the vehicle and rim manufacturers' specifications and the regulations by the Technical Inspection Agencies. We accept no responsibility for damages due to wrong or inadequate application of our balance weights or non-observance of the respective specifications. Please use a plastic hammer or the like for the application of coated clip-on weights.
