Original part Hofmann Power Weight adhesive weight from: PORSCHE, VOLKSWAGEN, VOLVO, FORD, OPEL. The balancing weights have a thickness of 3.8 mm including adhesive tape. The width of the adhesive weights is 15 mm for 5 - 10 g and 19 mm for all higher grammages. From 10 grams upwards the balancing weights are provided with one notch, from 30 grams with two notches, from 40 grams with three notches and from 55 grams with four notches. This makes it easier to shape the wheel to the rim radius. Made in GermanyWhy should you balance tyres at all?At a speed of 100 km/h the centrifugal force of a 10 g unbalance acts like the force of a sledge hammer. This makes wheels without balancing weights a danger: Without adhesive weights on steel and aluminium rims, wheel suspensions and bearings are subjected to greater stress. Missing balancing weights on aluminium and steel rims can also lead to noticeable vibrations at the steering wheel and in the interior. In addition, non-existent adhesive bars result in increased brake and tyre wear.Assembly of adhesive weights:Basically the rim surface must be free of grease, silicone, dust and dry before mounting the adhesive weights. The processing temperature of the adhesive weights must not fall below 10 °C and the surface for attachment to the rim must not exceed a maximum bevel of 15 °C from the hub direction.Picture may differ slightly from the article (without fingerlift) Fingerliftno

Original part Hofmann Power Weights safety weight from: VW COMMERCIAL VEHICLES, VOLVO The 5 gram weights are made of plastic. The balancing weights 280 are to be combined as standard with the spring V3-Zn. The special clip lifting tools and tyre pressure tongues are required for mounting, the following combination should be observed: Standard: Balancing weight 280 combined with spring V3-Zn (manufacturer's part number: 5812-0271-302). VOLVO light alloy rims: Balancing weight 280 combined with spring B3 (manufacturer's part number: 5812-7410-301). Made in Germany Why should you balance tyres at all?At a speed of 100 km/h the centrifugal force of a 10 g unbalance acts like the force of a sledge hammer. This makes wheels without balancing weights a danger: Without spoke weights on steel and aluminium rims, wheel suspensions and bearings are subjected to more stress. Missing balancing weights on steel and aluminium rims can also lead to noticeable vibrations at the steering wheel and in the interior. In addition, the absence of spoke weights results in increased brake and tyre wear.Mounting of safety weights:Using the tyre bead breaker tongues, press the tyre at the point where the balancing weight is to be mounted until the rim flange is exposed. Insert the holding spring at the desired point. Remove the tyre impression tongues. This causes the holding spring to be pressed between the rim flange and the tyre and is firmly seated.Then lift the spring with the clip lifting tool until the weight body can be pushed under the spring. Push the balancing weight of the desired grammage centrally under the spring.

Bore diameter balancing weights Hofmann Power Weights: 6.8 mm, for spoke nipples ø 7,0mm and ø 7.2 mm according to DIN 74 371. Made in Germany Why should you balance tyres at all?At a speed of 100 km/h the centrifugal force of a 10 g unbalance acts like the force of a sledge hammer. This makes wheels without balancing weights a danger: Without spoke weights on steel and aluminium rims, wheel suspensions and bearings are subjected to more stress. Missing balancing weights on steel and aluminium rims can also lead to noticeable vibrations at the steering wheel and in the interior. In addition, the absence of spoke weights results in increased brake and tyre wear.Assembly of spoke weights:Depending on the spoke nipple diameter, Hofmann Power Weight balancing weights are used. The fixing of the spoke weights takes place in the middle of the rim on the spoke nipple.Spoke weights for spoke wheels are hammered onto the spoke nipple with the Hofmann Power Weight hammering tool 385/1. This is the only way to avoid assembly errors. This tool is used to transmit the force required for safe and precise clamping of the balancing weight. Assembly with other tools or the use of spoke weights that are only compressed with tongues can cause the weights to come loose during operation.Afterwards, simply check that the spoke weight is firmly seated on the spoke nipple!

Original part Hofmann Power Weight from: MERCEDES-BENZ The balancing weight is suitable for tubeless truck tyres from 22.5 inch. With narrower spring spacing for use on weight-optimised steel rims with a horn thickness of 4.5 up to max. 6.5 mm. The impact weight is provided with a premium powder coating in silver. Made in GermanyWhy should the tyre be balanced at all when changing tyres?At a speed of 100 km/h the centrifugal force of a 10 g unbalance acts like the force of a sledge hammer. This makes tyres without balancing weights a danger: Impact weights for steel rims and balancing weights for aluminium rims prevent higher stress on wheel suspensions and bearings. Missing balancing weights on steel and aluminium rims can also lead to noticeable vibrations at the steering wheel and in the interior. In addition, the absence of impact weights on steel or aluminium rims results in increased brake and tyre wear.Assembly of impact weights:First of all, the suitable impact weight for steel rims or aluminium rims must be selected. The balancing weight must fit the rim shape of the motorcycle or car, whereby a distinction is made between the type of rim and rim flange shape. Then place the balancing weight on the rim to check the fit.

40 gram adhesive weights, green. Divided into 8 x 5 gram segments. The bars have a height of 4.8mm incl. adhesive tape and a width of only 10mm.

The processing temperature of the adhesive weights must not fall below 10 °C and the surface for attachment to the rim must not exceed a maximum bevel of 15 °C from the hub direction.Then select the required grammage of the adhesive weights and, if necessary, separate the balancing weights from the adhesive bar or the adhesive weight roll. Then carefully bend the adhesive weight slightly smaller than the rim radius and adjust to the rim radius.Then you can remove the protective foil of the balancing weights or adhesive weights and stick the weight in the middle of the intended place. Press the balancing weight firmly from the middle to the outer ends - the pressure on the adhesive weights must be at least 10 N/cm². Please make sure that the balancing weight is glued parallel to the rim edge. Fingerliftno

The balancing weight must fit the rim shape, whereby a distinction is made between the rim design and rim flange shape. Then place the balancing weight on the rim to check the fit.Then place the balancing weight in the required position on the steel or aluminium rim. Before hitting the weight, make sure that the clip is correctly positioned on the rim flange.Once the weight is correctly aligned, it is struck with a suitable mounting tool (balancing weight tongues or Hammer). For mounting the impact weights, a maximum of two strong blows should be applied. Increasing the stroke rate can damage the coating of the balancing weights.
