Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide cost reduction in manufacture of material by manufacturing metallic wire having a uniform cross section, cutting it to a prescribed length, forming a weight whose weight adjustment has been made, and joining, to the weight, a fitting having a locking part for locking itself on a wheel rim part and a connecting part for connecting itself to the weight. SOLUTION: Long iron wire having a uniform cross section is manufactured by means of drawing, rolling or the like during an iron wire manufacturing process, and a prescribed radius of curvature is given by means of bending. The wire is cut into arc-shaped length corresponding to target weight one after another during a cutting process to obtain a weight made of iron wire whose weight adjustment has been made. During a connecting process, the connecting part 31 of a fitting 3 is integrally-connected to the middle part of a weight 2 by means of spot welding to manufacture a wheel balance weight 1. The locking part 30 of the fitting 3 is fitted and pressed in the outer periphery 401 of the rim part 40 of a wheel 4, and an end 301 is inserted between a tire 6 and the rim 40. A locking recessed part 300 in the locking part 30 is fitted and fixed in the rim 40. It is thus possible to reduce manufacturing cost, providing large cost reduction at the time of mass production.
