Stitch, bench press weights are cast. Very soft, easy to drill.
I like that idea. I was planning on buying two 1'x1' plates of 3" thick lead.
cut the corners off so they fit in the center of the rim, then its simple to drill for the mounting bolts.
I can't remember the exact amnt, but you'll get like 70lbs per wheel, located almost dead on the axle flange.
The closer to the flange, the less outward flex, therefore the less stress on the axle.
Or, you want identical amount of weight on the inside, as well as the outside of the rim. This way, you can put an unlimited amount of weight on a wheel without adding any stress to the axle.
IE: the only weight on the axle, is that of the tractor.
