WTB. Concentric Rings for TD Pro 1 Wheels

Does anyone know who stocks these rings for the TD wheels? I just ordered a set and they did not come with the rings to fit the hubs! Thanks

You should call Discount Tire, and order their anodized aluminum HUB-CENTRIC rings, to be precise.

You'll need to know the inner and outer dimensions, in millimeters. The inner diameter is 56.15mm, but the outer diameter is whatever your wheel manufacturer says it is. I would ask the manufacturer, and not simply trust your measuring skills with a ruler. Get the exact diameter; as ordering the correct size is imperative.

Also, there are some plastic hub-centric rings out there, but they can melt with heavy braking, (like track days and autocrossing). Aluminum rings are going to stand up to the heat.

The rings aren't listed on their web site, (or if they are, they're really hard to find). I called them, and placed the order, just a couple weeks ago. It was easy, and they arrived within 2 days, standard shipping! Not bad!
