The difference between Zinc & Steel
Perfect Equipment offers two alternatives to conventional lead wheel weights; zinc and steel. Both product lines are available with the same durable Wheel Protectors® coating that has been the industry standard for decades. With over 2 billion parts used in the past five years, zinc remains the material of choice for wheel balance weights for most OE manufacturers. The US Department of Ecology has recognized zinc as a viable alternative to replace lead wheel weights. Zinc is one of the most common elements on the earth's crust, is present in all foods, and is required for a healthy immune system. Steel weights continue to be a popular choice among several North American and Japanese OE manufacturers. Perfect Equipment steel weights have a patented clip-to-body engagement that ensures a solid attachment.
