Default Wheel weights

Does anyone know where I can get heavier/higher density wheel weights??? I'm trying to balance out 35's and by the time there balanced I have so many weights on there sometimes they hit the calipers. I'm using sticky weights I hate the clip one they just look gay and cause bead leaks. I talked to the vendor at work who we get our passenger car wheel weights but when I asked he said duhhh I dont know!!

I've never heard of such a thing. Lead is lead. You may try spinning the tire on the wheel to get it closer before you start adding weight.

you can add antifreez inside the tire, get them as close as you can with the weights, then add antifreez, make sure it has more weight than you need and it will static ballance

Balancing Beads


I got some ceramic BB's at Walmart. When I get a chance I am going to try this out.

Do a road force balance, see if you can't match the wheel/tire to get it seated best before balancing.
