A wheel balancing device is provided having a plurality of wheel balancing weights attached to a top surface of an elongate tape and a backing strip removably attached to and protecting an adhesive layer on the bottom surface of the tape with the backing strip having a width greater than that of the tape to facilitate removing the backing strip from the tape prior to installation of the wheel weights onto a rim of a wheel. The greater width of the backing strip as compared to the tape facilitates removal of the backing strip from the tape by a user who may simply grab a portion of the backing strip which extends beyond the tape to peel away the backing strip. Preferably, the plurality of wheel balancing weights are connected in end-to-end relationship on the tape and are preformed of a generally uniform size and weight. Any number of the plurality of wheel balancing weights may be separated from the remainder of the weights by merely severing the tape and backing strip and breaking any living hinge or other means of interconnection, if any, between the last chosen weight and the remainder of the weights to provide a discreet unit of wheel balancing weights having the desired total or combined weight. After separating the desired number of wheel balancing weights from the remainder of the weights on the tape, the backing strip is removed from the tape and the adhesive bottom surface of the tape is secured to the rim of the wheel at the desired location to rotationally balance the wheel.
