was wondering about hub-centric rings

[barkerd427]

I just got some konigs for my racing setup and they fit very loosely. This is only my second set of aftermarket wheels so I am not sure how they should fit. They are obviously tight once the lugs are on, but I just wanna make sure that they will be safe. Do I need hub-centric rings for these wheels so they fit snugly to the hub? I don't want the lugs to break while I am racing and have the wheel fall off. Any expert advice would be great. I hear that I need the rings, but have no idea where I would get them.

The wheel should be perfectly centered on the hub without the lugs.
If it isn't then you need hubrings.
More localbwheel/tire shops should carry them.

Tirerack.com has the hub centric rings also.

Thanks a lot guys. I have always bought wheels from a company so they must have had them set up for my car before I got them. I am ordering the rings now. Hopefully they will be the right size.

That's where I got them from too. Thanks for the link. I didn't see this info when I bought the rings.

does any one know if i should go with the plastic for aluminum rings ?

Aluminum rings. The plastic ones will deteriorate faster.

[Mike@PureMS]

Plastic usually works just fine, and doesn't corrode and seize to the hub like the aluminum ones can.

Either is fine, just use anti-seize with the aluminum ones.

Ditto. I use plastic ones and they work totally fine.
