Abstract
A balancing weight for balancing a wheel of a vehicle has a body of non-ferromagnetic material providing a major portion of the balancing weight's mass and a ferromagnetic inlay for holding the balancing weight by magnetic force. The ferromagnetic inlay provides a minor portion of the balancing weight's mass. A weight applicator has a magnet for interacting with the ferromagnetic inlay of the balancing weight and holding the balancing weight.
