Wheel weights are really not pure lead - they contain tin (and maybe antimony?) to make them harder.
You can try Midway in Columbia. They have a number of different lead formulations (Lead+tin+antimony) and I think they may even have fairly pure lead.
You can also tru Rogers in Liberty. They have lead ingots that I have used and they are pretty good.
The other alternative is to melt the weights as CN suggests. After skimming off the slag you can then pour your own ingots using an ingot mold.

the trick to tire wieghts is to melt it in a a scap pot, skim the floating stuff off and dip the lead out but don't touch the bottom. You might have to use a couple of pots but your lead will be good to go.
In our government-controlled schools we are taught that Lincoln was our greatest president because his war ended slavery and saved the Union. As usual, the other side of the story – the side that reflects poorly on the government – somehow gets lost. – Richard J. Maybury, The Abe Lincoln Hoax

Mo is on the spot with this, wheel weights will work fine with spinnerbaits or any large cavity. Use the soft with small jigs. Check your phone book for it locally.
