Wheel weights have historically been made of Lead. Over the last decade, there has been pressure put on the tire industry to use wheel weights made from materials other than Lead. Two materials with very different characteristics have become the most popular alternatives to Lead; Steel and Zinc.
LEAD has historically been used to manufacture wheel weights because it has distinct characteristics. Lead is very dense, soft, and relatively inexpensive. It is also simple and inexpensive to manufacture using a mold because of its low melting point, and viscosity while in a molten state.
STEEL has become the replacement material of choice for almost all of the OEM's and national tie retailers. Steel has proven itself to be non-toxic, 100% recyclable, and the most prevalent material in the automotive industry.
ZINC has also become a viable replacement to Lead wheel weights. A Zinc wheel weight is manufactured in a similar process to Lead weights. Although a Zinc weight has an appearance similar to that of Lead, it is important to use the entire rang of series for successful balancing.
