Default Adding lead to front wheels

What brand of lead weights are you guys using that will fit the groove inside the wheel? All the ones I have are too wide. Or is there another alternative to using stick on weight to get weight for the wheels?

I bought 1/2 ounce lead fishing weights from wally world for 75 cents for 7 and smashed them with a hammer to fit inside groove. Then I hot glued them in. I used 6 per front tire for a total of 3 oz.

I use lead rope that is availble at most sporting goods stores.
