Micro Wing Weights
 

I'm mounting my Red Line Tires tomorrow on the DF rims for my 67 Z. I cleaned a hand full of my weights and wanted to know, which are the correct weights? The one with the 1.5 on each side or the one with B and the 1.5....Thanxs Dave

The B stands for "Bada" which is the wheel weight manufacture (model name or style name being "Micro").

As far as I know from the NCRS judging guidelines either type or a mixture of both are widely acceptable for Corvettes circa 1960's - 1970's.

I have tons of Micro weights and like you have a mixture of both types.

Best,
Dave

Dave,
Thanxs for the information. I had my wheels mounted this morning and did not use any with letters.

Seems that only a few weights had letters and that's possibly how they identified the weights because I have the following two weights with a letter.
1. 1.5 had a "B"
2. 2.25 had a "C"

Are all the micro wheel weights winged for a 1969 Camaro? I have seen ones with wings and ones without. Not sure what is correct.

Weights
 

The wheels look really nice . But the weights go on the inside only. The trim rings might interfere with the weights.

Weights
 

Also they are used in half ounce increments.

No, I was fortunate enough that weights don't interfere with the outer four Clips on the trim ring. Putting weights on either side is the best way to balance and I don't believe that the factory only did the backs.

Inside and outside. I have seen both. The bat wings are correct.

The original mounting process was used with a “static” balance technique. I agree with the above. Weights on the inside of the rim only for an OEM application. For a truer balance, weights on inside and outside.

Looks like Paragon Corvette sells the Micro wheel weights but they don’t have the “Bat Wings”. Would they be considered not correct for first Gen Camaro’s?

bat wings.............Bat Man! I have an original spare in my survivor 1969 nova and also a friend of mine has a survivor 69 Z/28 with the same bat wing weights. My nova is 11B of 68.

Wheel weights
 

Are the weights only on the inside? And in half ounce increments? .5 , 1.00,1.50,2.00, 2.5.What do they stop at ??

Bob, Micro tire weights without wings are not correct. I've found plenty of original weights on old wheels and at flea markets. And new correct ones can be found at a decent price when taking time to source.

3.00 is the highest weight that I have and ever seen

Thanks Chick! EBay pricing on these are ridiculous. Another thing to add to the Spring Carlisle list. 😬

Bob

I have a bunch of used correct ones that I can probably help you with Bob!
Dave, the largest one's I have are 2.75 ounces and they are over 5" in length so that 3.0 must be a whopper.

Here is a 3.0 to make you a believer Chick.....lol

Thanks Chick!! I’ll send you a text.

Bob

We have a huge stock of the assembly line originals too
