Hunter sells the correct cones & cups as an accessory to their machines.
However, the price was somewhat prohibitive as I recall, and might not fit
other machines.

An alternative, for home use, is to find an old on-the-car balancer.  More
tedious to use, but they ensure the entire rotating assembly is balanced,
including hub and rotor/drum etc.

Don't forget, you'll also need to match the "cup" inside the knockoff as
that is what locates the outboard side of the wheel.
