Thanks.
Or try a motorcycle dealership, you can get them in different colors, most popular are the black painted lead weights. Lots of current bike rims are black, also better to hide your added weight in your chasis from your buddy's, blends into corners and nook's and crany's of your car.

This guy, right here. It's about $6 for a buuuunch of weights. Non lead actually, which is good.

Yeah but those are pretty pricey for what you get...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Silve...item45fa52fcf3

$19+10 shipping= $29 for 52 strips of 12=104 pieces... $0.28 each

http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...sis-Weight-3oz

$4.59 + say $3 shipping = $7.59 12 pieces... $0.63 each

I know its not much but any chance to save a lil mone, and I have EVEN SOLD some in the past! Nice to have if friends are in a pinch...

I am SURE you could find them at a local tire shope even! No shipping!
