A wheel-balancing weight mounts to a wheel with a flange. The weight has a weighted body and a clip securely attached thereto. The clip has a gripping section and the body has a gripping portion generally opposite the gripping section of the clip. The gripping section of the clip and the gripping portion of the body in combination define a compartment therebetween, where the compartment receives the flange therein when the weight is mounted thereto such that the gripping section of the clip and the gripping portion of the body are on opposite sides of the flange and grip the flange therebetween.
