I don't pay for WW's. Ask at any shop that sells tires what they do with them and let it be known you have a use for them. Some shops will say no (usually because someone has already beaten you to them), but if you keep at it you'll end up with enough for your needs.

go to any garage, talk to the mechanic on duty or who ever has their hands dirty, and ask him if you can have some of his left over wheel weights.
Most of the time he will let you walk out with as much as you can carry. Just be subtle about it and you can get it for nuthin.
have your own bucket handy to put them in and be quick about it. The boss man may see things differently....
Whatever you are willing to put up with, is exactly what you will have.
When your ship comes in. ... make sure you are willing to unload it.
PAYPAL, sucks and I will never use them again. I recommend you do the same.

Last time I asked, I got about 300 pounds - and dang near a hernia - for nuttin. The best time to ask is when you've just bought a set of tires, but others work well, too. SW

Thank you gentlemen, good advice all a round...
I called the local chain tire store & they wanted 20 bucks for a bucketful, that's why I asked...

forget the chain places, go to "joe's tire shack" he'll probably be glad to give you some!

yep, unfortunately I couldn't cash in. I was in the process of moving, losing a job, starting a new business, etc....
I still dream of cashing in on it!

Heck blammer, it may be there yet. I have been back in the US 14 days since Mar. 03.
My brother is SUPPOSE to have moved it all to storage but i haven't thought to check.
if he didn't the man who owns the land is a friend so it will be waiting for me when I return.
