Check you tire shops.  See if they will part with used wheel weights.  Not the cleanest lead to use, but it does work just fine.   TT^

he did and actually they don't have much.  He gets them there every year, but for some reason, everywhere he goes claim that businees is slow and don't have much on hand.  I just checked ebay and they are quite pricey.  I am going to buy lead and have him make me my desired size weights for this season.  Im still looking as we speak.

If you are going to buy the lead, a buck a pound is pretty good. I work in the battery industry and the current market rate is up to a buck fifty eight. Right now there is a big demand for lead. It can be recycled and smelted until all the impurities are out and then reused. All this is keeping the prices up which will affect the overall prices of the batteries we buy.
