Claim Text:
1. An overmolded wheel-balancing weight comprising: a wheel-securing clip adapted to be secured to a wheel, the wheel-securing clip comprising wherein the cavity of the wheel-securing portion is sized and designed to engage and secure a portion of the wheel on a basis of an elastic deformation of the wheel-securing portion, the elastic deformation of the wheel-securing portion providing a pinching force against the portion of the wheel to mechanically secure the overmolded wheel-balancing weight to the wheel, wherein the overmolding polymer tangentially abutting the projecting portion is adapted to be compressed by the elastic deformation of the wheel-securing portion when engaging the portion of the wheel to prevent creating or increasing a gap between the overmolding material and the wheel-securing clip to avoid introducing foreign material between the overmolding material and the wheel-securing clip.
