Anyone got a good contact at TireRack?

I am looking for a set of hub centric rings for my MCS that go from 56.1mm to 68mm (OZ Ultraleggera). As described in this thread OZ Ultraleggera specs for Gen 1 I contacted Alex at TireRack. Unfortunately, it seems like he is not with the company any longer, as I got automated message from that email. There was a new person at TireRack info included, however, that person never answered my emails. So, does anyone has a name of the person to talk to at TireRack or knows of the other place I can get those hub centric rings?

Get them on amazon or somewhere similar. You can get aluminum ones for cheap.

I got an aluminum set for my Sacchi rims for $14 from Amazon. That said, it appears as though your OZ rims have a 68 or 68.1mm center bore, and I'm not finding those from any U.S. supplier.

Best I can find. Good luck.


Here's an aluminum set from Ebay that works out to about $38 shipped to Indiana.
