Gregor 4,846 #1 Posted December 20, 2021 (edited) I have 2 of these wheel weights. They came with my 175. One is quite heavy, the other simply hollow plastic. What are they typically filled with? Concrete? \ Edited December 20, 2021 by Gregor 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gwest_ca-(File Mod) 11,035 #2 Posted December 20, 2021 Have seen them filled with sand but do not know who put it there. Makes sense that they could be shipped empty. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gregor 4,846 #4 Posted December 20, 2021 My wife bought a bag of cement last summer and never used it. I may try to pour it in dry, put it in a tub of water, and let the cement do what cement does. Soak up moisture. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maxwell-8 4,275 #5 Posted December 20, 2021 How heavy do they get once they are filled? are they lighter or heavier then steel? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know what is in this one for sure, but there are some cracks in the back. Looks like concrete to me. It weighs 31#. I would have guessed more, but then gravity seems to be getting stronger, as I get older. For 31#, I'm not sure it's worth the hassle. As a second thought, I'm not even sure they will go on with the acorn style lug nuts. Edited December 20, 2021 by Gregor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 62,809 #8 Posted December 20, 2021 (edited) Find someone who has some steel shot that you can pour in with the concrete? Now that I think of it, I’m pretty sure Putt Putt’s front hanging weight (that is concrete filled) also has shot in the mix.

Racinbob 11,045 #9 Posted December 20, 2021 The Wheel Horse weights weigh 55# each. I don't know what brand the weights on the left are but they don't make it a mystery as to what they weigh. Both will work with your lugnuts. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That is an Orbitron weight, I wish they still made them. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
