I would like to propose a Rogues Gallery of Wheel Weights to inform all comers to this site of what is good, bad and new in the raw material we all need to enjoy our sport.
If the powers that be, deem it important enough, then may they have the foresight to make it a "Sticky", if not here then in a more appropiate section of the forum.
I would like all possible knowledge on this material collected in one place including pictures of known samples as well as those we are not certain of.
I would like to start the ball rolling with the following from my most recent collection.
A weight which is attracted to a magnet, rings like steel.
A stick on type which is also attracted to a magnet.
Another type of weight which is attracted to a magnet, rings like steel.
Non-magnetic weight which are plated/dipped, status unknown may be just plated to prevent oxidation. More info needed.
Stick on type status unknown, markings different from normal pb stick ons.
Another Stick on type status unknown, markings different from normal pb stick ons.
Zinc Stick type Weights???
Zinc Clip on weights???
Zinc Clip on weight???
As you can see there are a few I am not certain of and I am willing to ammend my post upon receipt of further information.
The last collection I did of raw material has produced the most number of questionable samples from any lot collected. My tyre dealer is still using the pb based versions and has not been forced to change to environmentally friendly materials, yet.
