We have been studying the aero weights. We think we are going to put them on one car and test vs. traditional 6x weights in as close to identical cars. The issue for us is wheel gap and all inside and outside lettering must be visible. The Puma and the MV wheels both solve the visible lettering issue due to the u-shape of the weights. How do you gap them with little or no access for a gap gauge? We use .25 gap. A photo or description would be helpful. Thanks.

You have to do it by feel, or if you're really good you only drill the axle holes to the right depth so the axle bottoms out at the perfect gap. Either way you go, make sure you drill access holes at the axle tips so you can push the axles back out.

.25 is ALOT of gap. I gap mine at .010"-.015"

Sorry, meant .025. You think that is still too much? We use the Owens gap feelers from DDH.

Yes, I've seen top racers cars with even smaller gaps than mine.
