Buy some accurate digital scales: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00EPO9M2Y
Buy some stick on weights: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00AKXC54Q
Stick equivalent in weights to wheel, opposite the tyre valve.

The sensors for the SteelMate TMPS system that I have weighed in at around 15g, so I just stuck two weights (10g + 5g) opposite each of them.
