truckerlary and 69vette, Thanks for that. I'm familiar with "hiding" the weights in the slots on original wheels, but I have problems with the inside rim. Good to know that TT2s have a "proper" rim, so that clip on weights are OK. My tyre man is very patient and has worked wonders, but that would make his life a lot easier!

Default Rim widths?

Are these the same rim widths all the way around? From the pic it looks narrower width in the front.

What size of spacers did you use? Same for front and rear?
