Re: correct style wheel weights
You can find accurate wheel weights on ebay from time to time.
The following information is from note taking over the years. GM had at least five suppliers for wheel weights, they were: Bada (MICRON) Salmon Wheel Weight Inc. Perfect Equipment Co. (P within a horizontal arrow) Sand Clip (used #14 within and ocal border) The weights were only in ounces (late 70's they went to metric) and there are five different weights to choose from, in 0.5oz increments from 0.5 to 2.5oz The weights usually had two markings of the weight, either in decimal or fraction, the exception being the 0.5 oz weight with only one marking and those that used a letter B on the left hand side in place of a number. Only installed on the inner side of the rim. The AIM manual states that a max. of 5 oz could be added and then the wheel/tire combination should be rejected.

Re: correct style wheel weights
The earlier of the designs had wings. It looks like a beveled edge on each end of the weight. This was the easiest stash to snap of photo of. You'll see a mix of the early and late design here. I'm a details freak and keep these in stock!

Re: correct style wheel weights
I melted down buckets of those for fishing weights and ammo.

Pete Lindahl sells NOS Micro Bada wheel weights. Pete is a great guy (for a Los Alamos nuclear engineer [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]) and a long time NCRS member.

Re: correct style wheel weights
----Thanks Mark! I could have guessed that it would be someone as detail oriented as Pete. I used to see him all the time when he and I both lived in Chicago, but its increasingly rare these days. He was one of the "Outlaw Racers". Too bad as Pete is one of the good guys......Bill S
