Good morning, does have anyone have the actual dimensions for the correct balancing cones for my roadsters 16 inch wire wheels so that I can get a set machined here in Dubai to balance my wheels. Thank you

Another vote for the Smoothride Cones, they work well Steve, the MG owners club parts dept stock them (you don't have to be a member) and they may well be able to ship to you https://www.mgocspares.co.uk/product/w179/wire-wheel-cone-kit-42mm

Sorry but it will not be fair to provide the dimensions of the Smoothride cones against the provider. Give your spare wheel and the above sketches to your metal worker, he will be able to do the work. The diameters of the wheel balancer are standard (generaly 2 diameters). Measure them.

I just had my tires remounted and used the tire balance beads. I was worried about the stick on weights and hammer on weights. The ceramic balance beads have been fantastic and road tested up to 80/85mph... no wobbles or bounces. They compensate for variations in the suspension along with the wheel. AND NO SPECIAL CONES NEEDED! brand in my tires is called counteract. cost per tire was almost the same as traditional methods. Good thing is the beads are re-usable should you every change tires again. https://counteractbalancing.com/

^^ Good call on 'beads' I had mine re-balanced several times in the tyres lifetime because a harmonic vibration would appear occasionally, left the old weights on, pumped 4oz beads in each tyre and cured, like magic
