Rounded corner 1/2oz*8 Thick




The 356 trades a sharp right angle for a rounded corner profile, a shape that presses smoothly into the curve of a wheel barrel without catching on the surrounding coating or paint. This rounded edge also resists lifting once the wheel starts spinning, since there is no corner for airflow or vibration to work loose over time.
Each strip is built from eight half ounce segments, cast slightly thicker than a standard strip to give installers a bit more surface contact along the rim for a firmer seat. The extra thickness makes the 356 a natural pick for wheels where a thinner weight would sit too loosely against the barrel.
Stamped from lead free carbon steel with tight weight tolerances held across all eight segments, the 356 delivers the same balancing accuracy whether a technician pulls the first segment or the last. The grey coating keeps the finished strip visually unobtrusive against most factory alloy wheel interiors.
Tire repair shops that handle a steady volume of alloy wheel work tend to keep the 356 close at hand, since its rounded shape protects the exact kind of finish those jobs are meant to preserve while still balancing reliably strip after strip.
