For the more typical SAAC DIV II ,MCA trailer and Mid America Heritage concours car class the categorys don't require the makers markings but they only have to be the generic hammer type weights that have been the standard for decades. If everything else is correct on your car  like tires ,battery belts hoses etc. and you are entering in SAAC Div I ,MCA Thoroughbred , Mid American Diamond class then the Diamond will get the least push back.

Don't know that there is any place you can call and order them. Think this requires searching, asking and getting lucky since you will need specific weights, amounts and so on. May have been used on other brands of cars, truck and or trailers

Some guys will have their private little stashes for their own use

Some where some one is driving their collector car for the last time but they don't know it . Drive your car every time like it could be the last memory of it .

It still had 2 originals on  original paint steel wheels before we put it back together and i have vintage photos that show the weights in same place  . as well as the 4 blue dots lining up with all 4 valve stems
