Advantages of metal weights, removeable if needed for one job and not another, you can add a specific amount of weight, not corrosive to rims if you have a leaky tire. Advantages of fluid, you can generally add a greater amount of weight versus using metal weights, and the added weight center will be slightly lower on the wheel unlike wheel weights which weight is centered on the wheel (when correctly filled with fluid the portion of tire above the top of rim is air filled). Disadvantages of fluid, calcium chloride is very corrosive to rims if it leaks, if you have a flat tire it is possible to loose all of the fluid out of the wheel, and if you have a flat you have to remove all of the fluid to fix tire.
