Well JLB notified me that now I need hub centric rings for my wheels and the ones that should be with my wheels are a month away.

Where can I get custom made rings around here?

thanks

not sure if he will do centric rings but Max got his spacers here and i almost did too. nice shop out in canoga park. you can take a wheel and the car and he will measure everything right there

nope
he doesnt do that. Too thin he said.
thanks though

still looking

go buy some T-6 in the thickness you need and take car, wheel and T-6 to local machine shop

Always get mine from http://www.1010tires.com/hubrings.asp" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

hmmm
i do that as last resort.
still looking around here
thanks Chuck

Why bother? I know hub centric is what all the kids are doing these days but lug centric still works...

Seriously.... You don't need them as long as you aren't a totally tool putting your rims on and your lugs arent made of pot metal.

But "Volk hub rings".....

What is the wheels hub center diameter?
What is the register diameter of the hub?

You'll probably need something like 57.1mm x 67.1mm

With lug bolts it makes tire installation a little easier. That's the ONLY reason I'd have for really wanting them.

65 x 56.6

I need them for piece of mind. I actually found some from F1 motorsports here in N hollywood. cusotm made. I ordered them at 9:30 they be ready by 12.

Do you already have the new wheels?

WOW, if your piece of mind can be effected by something so useless that they are most often made of plastic, I sure hope no one told you what happens to your Lotus if you hit a cone.

Seriously, there are a lot of racers in World Challenge, Natl Club Racing and Solo running lug-centric. Spend the money on a BWR stud conversion kit, you will be much happier.

We bought the stronger, more expensive ones for JK's Elise:

+1 on the stud conversion, bonus...still stock legal (if your car ever gets classed )

I have a bunch of extra studs if you want them...

The rings make it easier to hold the wheel up when using lug bolts, but the studs make it easier still.

sure
i can buy those from you.
