In an effort to support the National Lead Free Wheel Weight Initiative started by The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Company has eliminated lead wheel weights from their automotive and truck product lines effective July 1, making them the first major aftermarket distributor to stop selling Lead Wheel Weights for cars and trucks. A complete line of lead-free alternatives is currently available.
