Good luck finding lead wheel weights in California. On 1 Jan 2011 California outlawed the use of lead wheel weights. So what used to be almost all lead ww is quickly becoming mostly iron and zinc ww.

For lead check with plumbers, or roofers (some old flashing was lead). Check with scrap yards, although I have heard many scrap yards in California will not sell lead to the public. Check with auto parts yards, some U-Pullet_it places will let you walk through the yard and pull the lead weights off the cars. Check out sail boats, the keels on some of them are lead and can easily weigh over 1000 lbs. If all else fails check eBay or PM me and I will sell you 63 pound boxes of clean lead for $60 shipped.
