Looks like the channel in the wheel is to small for the lead weights we use normally. You would need to cut them in half to fit. There is room on the outside of the wheel for them to fit though. With the CVD prob right now I would be scared to add any weight to the wheels.

Thanks guys, I actually shaved the inside channel to fit the weight. Not lead, but a lead subsitute for wheel weight and it worked good. This one was narrower than the regular stick on weight. One strip wrapped around the wheel was 4 oz. Then for the fronts I slap on an extra strip of the regular sized but still lead subs one time around and the total for the fronts are about 7.5oz.

Another option is at the local tackle shop. Look for "stick" led. Here you can find in pre-cut length or on a roll like electrical wire. It's just round lead a little smaller than a pencil that you can roll out and cut to lenght. Wrap it around the rim and back it up with a few wraps of eletrical tape to hold it there
