Sorta funny.

I place this ad (http://phoenix.craigslist.org/evl/wan/1103104609.html) about 45 minutes ago.

Guy responds in an email:



I get wheel weights alot and have about 150 lbs. of olympic weights right now

So this guy thinks i'm looking to buy "wheel weights" as in the kind you put on a free weight bar (to work out).

I guess that makes sense, since they are shaped like a little wheel.

What he has:

What i'm looking for:

:jest: ...and I can assure you, this is not an April fools joke.

:mrgreen:

In this poor guys defense, I have seen adapters that allow you to use weightlifting weights on the wheels of garden tractors for tractor pulls, plowing snow, etc. Maybe that was what he was thinking?

There was a time when bodybuilding weights were lead. Of course that was when handlebar mustaches and hand cranked cars were all the rage. :kidding:
