What Material Are Wheel Weights Made Of?

[MacCamilla]

Wheel weights are made of iron. Every object has inherent mass variations in different parts, which can affect rotational stability under static or low-speed conditions. The higher the rotational speed, the more pronounced the vibrations become. The purpose of wheel weights is to minimize mass discrepancies in the wheel to achieve relative balance. Below are the key functions of wheel weights: 1. Maintaining dynamic balance for wheels during high-speed rotation. To prevent steering wheel vibrations or vehicle wobbling during driving, wheel balancing ensures stable vehicle operation. 2. Ensuring tire equilibrium helps prolong tire lifespan and maintains optimal vehicle performance. 3. Reducing uneven tire wear caused by imbalance during vehicle movement, while minimizing unnecessary wear on the suspension system.
