    Question on Wheel Weights

    I scored a hit on a local truck tire shop. He had about 100# just sitting around collecting dust. Man those truck tire weights are HUGE. One thing though there were some other flat weights in there, I am guessing those just have some sort of adhesive and stick to the wheels or tires. Are these lead as well or are they some other material I should weed out...thanks !

    Probably pure lead. Save it for alloying or trading to someone that shoots Black Powder.

    Some flat, stick-on type wheelweights have been observed that are Zinc (marked "Zn") or Iron (magnetic). I used to have links until my last computer crashed.
