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 !:confused:

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.

they are probably pure lead, i stopped at a truck stop today and scored a few pounds, had a good photo opportunity to get a picture of my semi parked next to jimmy johnson's nascar semi, he parked right next to mine, dummy me didn't think of a photo till i was on down the road. mist of passed 20 or 30 nascar semi's on the ohio turnpike today.....
