Who told you not to use a lead hammer? A wheel manufacturer?

I have been using a lead hammer for years but tha oak technique is a winner

I hadn't heard about the oak either and have always used a lead hammer but wrapped the spinner ear with an old sock. I have never had a ding or scratch.

the lead hammer is softer than the spinner, it won't mar the spinner. I've missed my spinner before and hit the wheel, no damage. lead is softer than the wheel too. I would rather just carry my hammer than a 2' piece of wood in my car

Exactly, the lead residue will just wipe off the spinner and wheel if you hit it.

You could always go with the stainless steel spinners. Mine came from cobraracing.com which for some reason has now turned in to www.justcobras.com
