As a side note on wheel weights.  I was at a tire balancer  this morning.  I 
asked about the lead weights.  He said they had been  phasing lead 
replacements in for the past year.  He showed me one  that he thought was zink and 
compared it to a lead weight. The zink apparently  isn't as heavy because the 1oz. 
zink was about 3 times the size of the 1oz.  lead.
He said the instructions on the boxes of both weights tell the  installer to 
wash their hands every time they handle either of the  weights.  I asked how 
many of the installer do. His answer,  "None!"   I'm not so sure I'd want to 
handle a few hundred lead  weights every day with no gloves!
