Cam backed weights – The Benefits
1. SAFETY – The top cam increases the force required to remove the weight which ensures it will not fall away from the rim.
2. RETENTION – The bottom cam forces the weight body away from the rim thereby opening the spring clip and significantly increasing retention. This increased retention ensures no movement of the weight on thin section rims which can cause imbalance.
3. SLIMLINE – The slimline shape allows good wheel trim clearance
Heavy braking can make weights slide around the rim causing imbalance and wheel vibration. Cam-backed weights eliminate this problem by giving the highest retention and a universal fitment across heavy duty and thin section rims.
Coated or uncoated weights?
Uncoated zinc weights have been widely fitted on steel wheels across Europe (including Scandinavia) since 2005. Over 80%of weights sold for steel wheels have been uncoated.
