Wheel Weight Survey

Methodology

The Lead-Free Wheels Program is conducting an onging survey at auto dealerships in SE Michigan to determine which 2004 model year vehicles are using lead-free wheel balancing. The use of steel balancing weighs is verified magnitically. The use of zinc weights has been verified through discussion with automotive and wheel weight manufacturers.
