Has anyone seen Wheel Weights this small?

[Link23]

i was smelting some wheel weights i got from the garage that works on all the Sheriffs cars and i got this many LITTLE wheel weights there are a lot that say 25 and TWO of the ones that seem to be just a clip with a drop of lead on each has anyone seen any this small before? oh and i only found 3 Fe wheel weights and some big huge 8 ozers.

Yep! All the time. 1/4oz often they are just the steel clamp. Heck, if they got lead on em' melt em'

[odfairfaxsub]

yeah the clip weighs almost as much as the lead itself. it makes less room for larger ones but melt it all when you can get it is the saying.

Got at least 40 or 50 out of every 5 gallon bucket of ww, the clip weighed more.

[white eagle]

yep I have seen em'
at first I thought I was ripped off
no lead but looked closer and low and behold
there was lead ...hallelujah pass the mashed potatoes

[Hip's Ax]

Used them in the motorcycle shop all the time.

[Bob Krack]

Yeah, I did.

Very common in "shop" wheelweights.

Really ups the scrap %

I just sorted two five gallon buckets of WW. I found several of the little 1/4 oz.

More demanding drivers in lighter cars. In a 50-60s tank a 1/4 oz wouldn't be noticed. In today's Styrofoam and plastic cars a 1/4 oz off, will shake it to pieces. Plus the equipment to balance tires is much more accurate than the old bubble in the center.

Yup, pulled one out of a crack in Carls Jr parking lot last week.

I seperate them out. Pick them up with needle nose pliers by the clip...zap them with a self lighting propane torch and tap the clip on the edge of the pot and drop whats left into a steel can. Ervin

a littles better than nutin

The wheel balancers are getting more accurate, and the smaller weights are the results. Folks demand all the smooth ride, their suspension will give.
Don't complain about their size, they are lead wheel weights. Just be glad they aren't Zinc or Fe. The end of all lead WWs is near.

Smaller lighter wheels & tires use,need smaller weights. go to the wrecking yard, truck section. big tires & wheels, big weights.

our gas station is changing over to steel and they gave me a doz. unopened boxes of those lil 1/4 ounceres I took 'em even tho there a pain and said thanks happy to have 'em

reminds me that i look at a wheelweight and "see" in each piece something like, oh this is 2x200gr 45acp this on is 3x250 gr swc 44 mag, this one is 1 or 2 38's.
