Abstract
A wheel balance weight includes a plurality of weights, an adhesive sealing member and a regulatory member. The adhesive sealing member fastens the plurality of weights onto an inner peripheral surface of a rim in a wheel, and has an adhesive surface to be bonded to the inner peripheral surface. The regulatory member inhibits at least two of the plurality of weights, being disposed to neighbor with each other, from moving by greater than a predetermined magnitude. Hence, the wheel balance weight deal can be dealt with readily before it is installed to the wheel, is likely to conform to the inner surface, and can have a desired mass by adjusting the number of the weights.
