    hub centric rings

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I got a set of wheels from an S4 8k0601025J and I need to get hub centric rings but I can't seem to find the correct measurements. The ones in my car are 4F0601025 DC, bolt pattern is the same just the hub size is different and they vibrate. I ordered some from Amazon but I guess I don't know how to measure, they didn't fit.... Can some one enlighten me and teach me...

    Your old wheels have a 57.1 center bore. Your new wheels have a 66.6 center bore. You need a hub ring that has an inner diameter of 57.1mm and an outer diameter of 66.6mm. Something like this: https://www.ecstuning.com/b-ecs-part...yABEgJak_D_BwE

    FWIW, I've had plastic hub rings crack on me before so you should research if metal ones are better.

    metal ones are actually worse for vibration, they are meant for people who track their cars and overheat brakes/wheels.
    Plastic ones are actually better for road car, they snug better.

    I had plastic ones, then unknowingly under wrong advices from forum like that got aluminum ones, and had virations, to the point I though I bent my wheels.
    took them to a great tire shop, did road force balancing, where they on their own removed my metal ones, and put plastic ones, and explained that metal ones tend to make wheel vibrate.
    in my case completelly true, no more vibration. Although I paid fair money for aluminum ones and they seemed to be super snug in there.

    I think another negative about aluminum rings is that it can corrode and possibly seize onto the hub. Again, I recommend doing your own research.
