There's no standard mix for wheelweights, so it's difficult to say, but most straight WW bullets will be about BHN 15.

You can oven heattreat them, or just drop them into water straight from the mould and that will harden them up some. The immediate drop is fine if you don't need to resize them. But if you have to reduce their diameter, it'll soften them again.
