Hi fellow Cooperians,

Anyone know where I can get/order hub centric ring with 56.1/65 specification? Whats the difference between plastic type and aluminum hub rings? Any advantage/disadvantage using plastic type?

Thank you.

Happy Motoring....

 

Try Tire Rack or Discount Tire or any major tire store.

All thy do is center the wheel on the hub as the tire gets mounted. No big deal if plastic or steel.

 

For general use I'm sure either would work fine. For use on the track I didn't want to risk plastic, because things get very hot, I was afraid they'd melt.

Plastic rings are cheaper but cannot tolerate heat from track use. For street use they are fine in all weather.

Metals rings cost more, weigh more but don't melt from hot brakes/wheels.

High performance driving school/events or track/lapping will generate heat.

I have melted plastic rings with 15 minute track sessions on the front wheels.

 

Sir minihune,

Thanks for the reply. 1010 tires doesnt carry that particular spec of hub rings. Motor sport tech website doesnt open. Any other suggestion sir? I have been searching for that hub for almost 2 weeks.

Excited to use the new set of rims.

Thank you.

My links all work fine.
Which wheel are you using?

Check that your measurement is correct.

 

Had the same problem as you - the 65-56.1 seems specific to Rays and no-one seems to carry them as stock items. I had to order some plastic ones from Finland - finish wasn't great (especially at $50) but when my UK Rays distributor doesn't even have them, you know your nuts are in a vice.

 

OK, if you have Rays wheels and it is 65mm then

Sir minihune, Your the best!

Thanks for the help. I will be ordering my hub rings now.

Do you suggest lug conversion kit also for this? Which size?

Again, Many thanks.....

 

Sir minihune, forgot to tell you, I am mounting a set of RAYS TE37 to my JCW 2009. Thats the reason why am sourcing out hub centric ring 56.1/65. What other modifications do you think will I need to do? Changing studs to lugs(what size)? Will I need spacers? Whats the effect of not mounting tPMS, aside from the indicator light that is perpetually lighting on...

Sorry for all the queries. As I told you, Im living in a country where car accessories are very limited. You can only get most of the parts from the dealers. JDM and other after market parts here are scarce. My only source is online ordering which will take several days (roughly a week) before I receive it. This is the reason why I kept on asking questions to people like you before I order online.

Thanks for the guidance...

 

Not sure if Part Box actually have them in stock - they didn't when I ordered them (doesn't tell you prior to ordering). I bought from Hubcentric-rings.com and they're the ones which are finished poorly - do the job, but crudely machined.

 

Which Rays TE37 wheel are you getting? What vendor? There are many models of TE37 for different cars.

The MINI needs 4x100 bolt pattern, were you going to convert the hubs to 5 bolt pattern to fit the wheels?

There are many TE37 by Volk Racing-

Some sizes are not going to fit a 4x100 bolt pattern.

Are you sure you want to pay more for real TE37 wheels or do you like the look and would consider a TE37 replica wheel by Rota.


Rota Grid 17x7.5, offset 40mm, many finishes, about $675 a set shipped.
