Last summer my son who has contacts to a lot of automotive supply etc. types due to his job bought me 300lbs of wheel weights for $70 american. Haven't melted any down yet but sorting thru one of the buckets revealed lotsa tire stems a smattering of ferrous weights and so far no obvious zinc. Oh yeah, and about 10% stick ons that I consider a bonus. Bought some tires last week and asked the dealer if he had any wheel weights and was told that most of his were steel. Good wheel weights are going fast, I recommend buying all you can before the recyclers end up with them and the price skyrockets.......more.
