Balance Weight and Rim Flange Design Specifications, Test Procedures, and Performance Recommendations
J1986
This SAE Recommended Practice is intended to serve as a guide for standardization of features, dimensions, and configurations of balance weights for aluminum and steel wheels intended for use on passenger cars, light trucks, and multipurpose vehicles to assure good installation and retention of the balance weight. This document also provides test procedures and minimum performance requirements for testing balance weight retention.
Rationale: This document is being revised to update types of balance weights found in the market, clarify the test procedures found in 8.4-9 and identify a minimum for adhesive weight failure mode.
