Where to buy metal hub rings?

**Kyokio** · 06-13-2008 02:59 PM

As the thread states, anyone know where i can purchase aluminum hub rings?? The hubcentric ring size is 72.56mm (outer bore) and 57.10mm (inner bore).

My shop quoted $200 for them but that's insane!

I can't imagine why hub rings would be so freaking expensive! Someone plz help!!!

Been using the plastic ones but i'm still getting vibration from 60-80mph. Also, had the rims checked for bends and had the tires re-balanced twice. Only advice my shop had left for me was to try metal rings.

were the lug bolts tightened to the proper specs (88 lb-ft of torque)? over-tightened lugs tend to cause vibrations especially when the impact guns are used. i personally hand tighten my lugs and apply the proper settings with my torque wrench.

Not gonna lie, but I dont think metal ring are going to help any.

You may have ONE faulty tire, or ONE faulty rim.. but if your hubrings match up to your wheel and hub, its not like the plastic ones bend or anything..

BUT I have had one faulty tire that I drove on for 1000 miles, getting it rebalanced SO many times.. they warranteed it and it was all good.
