Go to AIBI shop and buy those 0.5kg plates. Work the same.

You mean the Aibi plates have the same central hole diameter as Vixen weights? how are you going to lock/tighten the weights to the c/w shaft?

Use innovative methods. You just need to lock it..plenty of ways to do that. I have seen people use a large paper clip and clip onto the shaft so that the weights dun run. Ugly...but functionable.
