Re: (ET) More on wheelweights

Apparently, one can put four 10lb weights plus one 25lb weight on each side.  I quote:
"Use 10-pound plates inside the wheel and 25-pound plates after clearing the outer edge of the wheel/tire. The typical wheel allows four, 10-pound plates and one, 25-pound plate per wheel (plus 5 pounds for each adapter)."
The link is:

The item is slightly more expensive on eBay, I guess because of eBay fees.
I am going to see if I can obtain these weights BEFORE I buy the adapters.

By the way, I turned the rear wheels on my E-15 "inside out" to widen the
    
track and increase lateral stability with a bucket loader.


Two more things about the wheel weights, 
1.)	The wheels on and ET are the same as Wheelhorse, may even have been
made by Wheelhorse and there is detailed instruction on how to size the
wheel. 
2.)	The site has a freight calculator section and shipping is not too
bad if you use FEDEX ground, it was $11.95 to Buffalo.
