Sounds like a waste of good tire weights, when you can make great bullets out of them.

I'll take the wheel weights. Bullets or sinkers. I use both.

LMAO! i'm too lazy to take the time to cast bullets--have good source of hard cast bullets in VERY large quantities. i don't feel too bad about sacrificing a few wheel weights.
