lead wheel weights?

Does anyone know if they will stop making wheel weights out of lead, and if they do completely when will it be?

Some of them are Zinc now, I would not be surprised if they someday faze out lead entirely.

All the best...Bob.

For now when availability of lead weights will end depends on the state.

Most of the non-lead one's I've seen have been zinc.

This site covers pretty much every question one should have on the subject: http://www.leadfreewheels.org/
