Germany’s Wegmann Automotive has launched its premium Hofmann wheel weight brand in the U.S. The announcement came at the 2011 SEMA Show/Global Tire Expo.
Wegmann Automotive says it is the world’s largest manufacturer of wheel weights, and is the parent company of Perfect Equipment.
The Hofmann Power Weight, which will be available through Perfect Equipment, exclusively in the U.S., offers several unique features, including corrosion protection powder coating, and precise weighting for optimized fitment.
“We are pleased to announce that our premium brand is now also available for the U.S. aftermarket. So to speak: from motorsport straight to the road,” said Thorsten Thom, managing director of Wegmann Automotive.
Initially, Hofmann weights for European and Japanese vehicles will be introduced to the U.S. market, with domestic applications to follow.
