What to use after lead wheel weights disappear?
« on: November 22, 2010, 06:01:25 PM »
Heard the lead wheel weights are going to become extinct.  EPA?  Wonder what will be the replacement?  Truck tire patches inside the tire?  Dyna-beads?  har!   :drink:spyder

Perfect? Nothing is ever perfect, between the bad wheels and the screwed up tires it will become tough without lead wheel weights, maybe polished stainless? More money but would look good.

And here I thought when you said disappear, you meant when they come off the wheel and damage the fender !  ;D
