Hi
Scored my usual 'allocation' of wheel weights the other day from my local tyre shop. As I was rumaging through them on the garage floor I noted some felt a little shy on mass for their size. To my horror I found they took a magnet and not on the clip.

In the following photo not one of the weights is lead. The second from the top on the left is marked "10 Zn" identifying it as Zinc. The rest in that horizontal line are non magnetic in a plastic outter and I suspect Zinc also. Balance attract the magnet.

This could be the way of the future.
What's it like in the US?
