A self-adhesive balancing weight for a vehicle wheel has a top surface and a bottom surface with a self-adhesive tape. The bottom surface has a first curved section with a first radius and a second curved section with a second radius. The first radius is smaller than the second radius. This allows to hold the balancing weight by the adhesive tape to almost every rim, as there are always at least two holding points (-lines) by which the balancing weight contacts the rim via the adhesive tape.
