Anyone know what made these wheel weights used on Borrani wire wheels on Ferrari? Image Unavailable, Please Login
Dom, Sorry, cant help you with the manufacturer of the weight in the picture, but I can tell you that that type of weight is not correct for Borranis. See below for the correct way of balancing wire wheels (with 4-5mm lead wire). Also, note the valve stem treatment. Tom 07 F430 Coupe Image Unavailable, Please Login
All I can tell you is that they are European (because they are measured in grams -- 30 in that case). But, Tom is correct --- all the older, wire wheels (like Borranis) were balanced --- in period --- with spiral wound weights wrapped around the spokes like in his picture.
I personally would not use a rim clip weight on that type of wheel. I use Mr. Gasket "stick ons", they come in ribbons 4" x 1/2" and you break them into the length you need.
Thanks Tom, I have seem the lead wire and it appears to have been used on the 50's cars many of the cars in the 60's and 70's used clip-ons. But I am not an expert just passing on my observations.
