Impact weights are the classic balancing weights and are used to compensate for an imbalance on the wheel and thus ensure a smooth ride.

Our impact weights are the ideal choice for professional and efficient balancing in your workshop.

You benefit from precise, durable and easy-to-use products that make your work easier and increase your customers' satisfaction.

In contrast to adhesive weights, which are glued to the rim, impact weights - as the name suggests - are hammered onto the rim or rim flange.

This method makes it easy to attach and remove the weights and provides a reliable fit.

Our tip: Zinc impact weights

Due to the highly valued properties of the zinc material, zinc zinc impact weights are particularly popular in workshops:

  • Outstanding corrosion resistance, especially in the event of damage to the coating.

  • Minimizes the risk of contact corrosion on aluminium rims.

  • Better fit to the rim due to higher elasticity of the material.

In addition to zinc weights, the WEGMANN automotive B2B Partner Shop also offers lead impact weights.
Lead is a very dense and corrosion-resistant material, but is banned for cars in the EU due to its environmental impact.



Universal weights vs. original weights

Why OE impact weights are worthwhile for every workshop


Original weights


Universal weights are undoubtedly practical: they fit almost any rim, save time and simplify warehousing. However, universal weights often reach their limits in terms of functionality and quality, especially with specially shaped rims or rim flanges.

As a partner to car manufacturers, we know the importance of precise impact weights, which is why we also bring our OE expertise to the aftermarket. With our precisely fitting HOFMANN POWER WEIGHT original weights, which have been specially developed for specific vehicle models and makes, we ensure happy customers and fitters.


FIRM HOLD

EASY ASSEMBLY

CERTIFIED OE QUALITY

BEST CORROSION PROTECTION


The superiority of original weights is particularly evident with specially shaped rims, such as on the Ford Transit or Fiat Ducato. In such cases, universal weights can provide insufficient support or even fall off, which can lead to a loss of driving comfort and double assembly work.

Mr. Most from Autohaus Most GmbH in Kitzingen explains why he will only be using original spare parts from now on:


Universal weights

Universal weights are the right choice for customers looking for a simple, versatile solution for impact weights.
 In the WEGMANN automotive B2B partner store you will find both HOFMANN POWER WEIGHT and Perfect EQUIPMENT universal weights.

While HOFMANN POWER WEIGHT continues to impress with quality and the best corrosion protection, the Perfect EQUIPMENT impact weights score points with the fact that they fit almost all rims, which promises maximum flexibility and user-friendliness.

Customers therefore have a choice - depending on their specific requirements and priorities when purchasing universal weights.

The universal balancing weight from Hofmann Power Weights for all European steel rims 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: Impact weights for steel and 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, 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.
