Finally found a tire shop that would let me have some wheel weights

My wife ran over a pair of needle nose pliers yesterday. I work out of town and took the tire to a place near my workplace. Turns out the tire is shot and will need replaced.

I asked if they had any wheel weights for sale. The guy said "Yes". Great, how much? Well, I came home with 396lbs of wheel weights for $47.

Take a six pack or a case over to the shop and tell them how much you appreciate the WW's....ask them to save the rest for you and you will give them a few six packs if they let you buy them regularly.
I did that (a case of Harpoon Ale for two 5 gal buckets - even trade - 25 bucks for 200 lbs more or less) and I would up with 2500 lbs of WW's!
Take care of them whatever it costs. They are your new best friends!

I am just curious as to how you arrived at $47 for the weights. Was that the cost of the tire and the weights were free? Or in addition to the price of the tire?

[VintageRifle]

That price doesn't include the tire. Roughly 13 cents/lb for the wheel weights. I had to bring a scale to weigh the wheel weights out.

Ok I see now, I was just a little intrigued as to how you arrived at that price.

I am shocked they said 13 cents a pound. Said I would take them all and went right for the ATM!
