    Unknown wheel weights

    Not steal, not zinc, nit plastic, not lead.
    They seem to be some kind of mixed alloy.
    But what is it?????
    Could it have lead in it????

    Might be aluminum or a mish metal mix. ( used in die casting shops a mix of alum. zinc, magnesium, and several other metals). At the cost I couldnt really see stainless but could be for high dollar rims so no discoloration.

    There is one thats called a composite weight. They look like powdered metal mixed with or coated in plastic. The composite stick on weights have a rubber like look and feel. Throw these away.
