Hopefully someone can help me, I live in the back of beyond (Dubai) getting my wire wheels balanced here aint going to happen. Can anyone give me the dimensions of the required cones so that I can machine a set up here?

A previous thread on here had recommendations for either
http://www.fossewayperformance.co.uk/wire-wheel-balancing-kit/
or
http://www.smoothridecones.co.uk/

both of whom do mail-order... if you can't sort out the dimensions to machine a set locally.

No direct experience of either - my car doesn't have wires.

I have the "Smoothride" cones and I am very satisfied with them. My local tyre guy took good care with them when mounting the tyres and the car drives so smoothly and straight, hands off!! Two of the wheels have all previous weights removed and just small ones on the rest.

As usual, no connection with the vendors, just really satisfied with the product.

Cheers!!
