Go to Firestone Ag - they have a chart of exact weights.

This is about like an oil discussion, but here is my opinion:

Water (salt) is the best thing for weight. It pushes all of that weight right on the lugs. I think weights put the weight on the axle and then the lugs. I prefer to have that weight as close to the lugs as possible. It also does great things for stability. When you add several wheel weights they are farther from the centerline of the tractor changing your stability a bit.

Have you looked into rimguard, used antifreeze, washer fluid, etc.? I'd go with one of those before I would do without. I just had a couple of tractors done last week. Now EVERYTHING here is loaded with the exception of the Farmall A I use to mow the yard. That rim is likely the original. If it takes that long to rot out again you won't be worrying about it. One of my loaded rims is the original. That tractor is a 49.
