Abstract

See full text

A vehicle wheel weight for attachment to a wheel rim comprises a mass portion formed of nonlead material and configured to be juxtaposed against a wheel rim when attached to a wheel. The mass portion defines a clip groove on an exterior side thereof, with the clip groove being defined by opposed first and second sidewalls. The wheel weight also includes a clip having an extended portion for engaging the wheel rim and an attachment portion seated in the clip groove. A self-locking arrangement is provided on the clip and the mass portion for interconnecting the attachment portion of the clip with the mass portion such that when the attachment portion is seated in the clip groove the self-locking arrangement secures the clip to the mass portion.
