Wheel balancing weights with body and mounting clip

A clip for a wheel balancing weight for mounting to a wheel with a flange, the weight having a body for providing a predetermined mass to the weight and the clip attached to the body, the clip for securely gripping the flange to mount the weight thereto, the clip having a springed shape defining a compartment within which is received the flange of the wheel, the clip including a hump projecting toward and into the defined compartment to contact a generally radially inward surface of the received flange such that the received flange contacts the clip at one or more relatively smooth medial contact points on the hump, the medial contact points being away from adjacent relatively sharp lateral edges of the clip, whereby the flange is not damaged by the relatively sharp lateral edges when received in and removed from the compartment defined by the clip,

• the hump including a generally laterally extending central plateau interposed between opposing lateral ramps, the central plateau being generally tangential with respect to the flange when the clip is mounted thereto, and being elevated more radially outwardly than the adjacent lateral edges of the clip, the ramps being at an angle to the central plateau such that each ramp transitions from the elevated plateau toward a respective adjacent lateral edge, each medial contact point being at about a juncture between the central plateau and a respective lateral ramp.
