I have Motegi wheels on both my cars, "04 R53 & '06 R52 JCW......I'm looking to get two sets of wheel centering rings for both cars.....

Where to get, and what size?

Many Motegi wheels come with a 72.6mm centerbore, but you will have to measure yours to determine what you have.
1st generation Minis require wheels with a 56.1mm centerbore, which is why you need rings.

There are many sources for hubcentric rings. You didn't list your location in your profile, so here is a source that has everything, and ships worldwide: http://www.centricrings.com/centric-...ameter-56.10mm

For other sources, once you have the wheel bore diameter, just plug "56.1 hubcentric" into google and you will find many options.

If per chance you are going to spend any significant time on a race track (think red-hot rotors), you will want metal rings, otherwise plastic will be fine.

Summit Racing Equipment also carries many sizes in stock.

I'm in Washington state... thanks for the size info... I couldn't measure the inside of the wheel

Bought mine at Les Schwab, took a week to get them in for $10.

 

Look on Motegi's website, They should list the bore diameter of their wheels


I needed a set on my Jetta, Went to Discount and they had them in stock. I believe the hub bore on the Jetta was the same as the MINI if it is 56.1mm. Was for Motegi wheels also. $10

 

Just to update this thread....I did look on Motegi's web site...not a lot of info there......I went up to my local Discount Tire store and got two sets of hub rings for both my Mini's.....total cost was $11 with tax for all 8 rings......will try and fit these on the cars when the weather clears.....the manager up at the tire store said I have 30 days to exchange if they are wrong....

I got two sets of 72.6mm x 56.1mm for each of my cars......

Wow, that’s a great price! Did they have them in stock, and are they metal or plastic?

 

They are plastic, and had them in stock

I did a test fit today, I took one wheel off each Mini and installed a ring in each wheel.... perfect fit, had to lightly tap the ring into the center of the wheel, nice snug fit... they are plastic, I don't plan on taking the car to the track.

Maybe this might solve the slight vibration I have in the R52..... I noticed that without the hub ring, if you tighten up one of the lug bolts, then tighten up the rest, the wheel isn't centered, I could spin the wheel and tire and noticed that it was out of round. I played with tightening the lugs ever so slightly and I did get the wheel centered... but this hub ring makes it easier to get the wheel on correctly

Thanks for everyone's help

Put the remaining hub rings on both cars the other day....took the R52 out to see how it felt.....nice and smooth..at least up to 90mph
