PURPOSE:To aim at reduction of a time required for fitting a balance weight by providing a pair of balance weight fitting means opposite to each other on the front and rear surface of a wheel in one station, in a device which automatically fits the balance weight to the wheel. CONSTITUTION:The device stated in the caption is built up by arranging, in one line, a station which positions a wheel H, a measuring station which measures the unbalanced volume and the position of the wheel H by means of a wheel balancer and a station which fits a predetermined volume of a balance weight to a predetermined position of the front and rear surface of the wheel H based on unbalance volume information. In this case, the weight fitting station is built up by providing supplying means 20, 60 which supply many weights at the upper and lower positions of a roller conveyer 1, a pair of, left and right, transfer means 30, 70 which receive predetermined weights and convey them to receiving boards 11, 13 and fitting means 40, 80 which fit the weights on the receiving boards 11, 13 to the front and rear surface of the wheel H.
