whats the differed between hubcentric and wheelcentric rings... i was advised once that hub* is better....

 

never heard of wheel-centric.........hub-centric is what you want. Make sure the wheel dealer includes the correct hub rings for your car.

 

do you know what the purpose of the ring is ?

 

I believe it is to fill the gap between the dia. of the hub and the wheel.

 

Most aftermarket wheels are NOT brand specific. The wheel hub is formed out larger than needed and then the dealer supplies make-specific rings that are installed between the wheel and the cars hub.

 

If anyone has a need for 65mm outer dia. and 56.1mm inner dia (mini size), I have two new sets (4 rings each) for sale. They are from Mackin Industries.

 

i think he meant lug-centric.

 

FWIW: CenterLine claimed that the RPM polished aluminum wheels I bought from them were "lug-centric", but I've had to get centering rings for them.

 

uh oh here we go on the whole lug-centric vs hub-centric debate again

 

not really a debate. do wat you need to do to make your wheels work
for you.

 

If their lugcentric that mean the hub-rings are necessary to CENTER the wheel on the hub. Yes, running hub-rings does make mounting the wheels easier/faster but after a couple times you learn to get pretty good at it. I'm not running hub-rings on my SSR's and I've gotten better at swapping wheels now.

Theres no better or worse really, as long as it works without vibrating...
