What are some of you guys/gals tricks for making wheel weights and valve stems? I've seen some that look really fantastic

I used a silver sharpie and carefully marked the edge of the wheels to simulate wheel weights. For valve stems I used a pin vise and a very small diameter drill
bit, drill a hole in the wheel and install very small wire.
