This is your best bet (wheel weights) and better than the other option: Build a bracket with a basket and bolt it to the front axle. Then fill the basket with 4-6 concrete blocks. BTDT
Wheel weights are much better and be sure the wheel is dished in rather than dished out. Steers much easier with weights with the weights close to the spindle rather than dished out away from it (them).
