Actually, lead is free. Next time you go to your local gun club, pick up any bullets that have been fired laying around on the ground and smelt your own. My father did this when I was growing up and cast and swaged all of our bullets.
You can also get tons of free used wheel weights from tire repair shops.
Which brings up the matter of will these lead tire wheel weights also be banned?
Gee. There is ANOTHER heavy metal that can be used for tire balancing weights. It is called GOLD, although it may just be a little pricey. Most other inexpensive metals are too light to be practical.
Please don’t agree with me.
They already are...they have to use steel now .....at twice the price BTW.
Wheel weights? Free?
Nobody gets them free. It has been two decades or so since that was the case.
