"MICRO" wheel weights
 
Is there a source for these? I'm pretty sure they still make them.

They were available a few years ago but have both metric and standard weights in raised letters. So not quite right.

I believe I picked up some at a paragon booth in Charlotte or Carlisle.

However there is a big push to stop using lead tire weights due to them polluting the environment.

Call Paragon Reproductions for Micro wheel weights 800-882-4688 or www.Corvette-Paragon.com . These have the word "Micro" and the weight on them.

Micro wheel weights are still hanging around most garages and tire stores.

That's what I was thinking. There's a one-man-shop just North of where I work. Been on business for YEARS. He has a fortune laying on his shop floor!

I've picked up Dill caps by the dozens there, and so many weights it's dangerous to walk across the floor.

Pete Lindahl has the old Micro wheel weights. He is a very nice fellow and well respected in the National Corvette Restorers Society. He has other neat old stuff also. Tell him I sent you and he will add 25% to your bill.
