J. Frank Norfleet 56 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 The wheel weights I get from my local tire shop have a mixture of pure lead stick on wheel weights. When I separate out the zinc and steel wheel weights I also separate out the stick ons and melt them separate. That way I don't dilute the Pb alloy wheel weights.

Marshall Mike 0 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 I buy lead, 20/1 from ZIP Metals. Soft, not hard cast, obturates better. Don't have to figure the hardness of mixed lead products, clean, delivered BY UPS Quote Link to post Share on other sites
