Does anyone know of a single source for metal hubcentric ring adapters?

Thanks

 

I'd like to know the answer to this, too. I ran Streets of Willow on Friday and my brakes were still 494 degrees F after a cool-down lap. They probably got substantially hotter under hard braking, and I don't see how a plastic ring could have coped with such high temperatures.

 

Try Tire Rack. My SSR Comps came with aluminum rings.

 

I found what seems to be a good source on eBay. Discount Tire Direst sells aluminum rings at auction with a Buy It Now priice of $15 including shipping. Search for seller discounttiredirect. I've discovered that you get whatever rings you want by winning any auction. You then email information on your car and your wheels and they send you the rings. Worked for me getting rings for my Team Dynamics Racing Pro Race 1 wheels. You can email your specs in advance to be sure they have your application.

Tire Rack wouldn't sell me rings for TDR wheels they don't stock. Tire Rack did sell me aluminum rings for the Kosei wheels I just bought from them and charged $3.50/each plus UPS ground.

MSFITOY- go to Discount Tire. They're about $6 a set of four. The ID is 56.1mm. You'll have to find out what size the hub of your new wheels is (generic-fits are usually 73.1mm) Yes they're plastic, yes that's fine, no they won't melt, yes I know for sure. :smile:

 

yah,I think its glass-reinforced plastic.

tirerack has aluminum ones though for your auto-xers. :smile:

 

Got mine through the Tire Rack. I think they were $4.00 each.

Thanks Rye...been there. They're getting me metal rings...not that I don't trust you

 

>>Got mine through the Tire Rack. I think they were $4.00 each.
I thought I saw a post from tirerack where the rings were up to $5 each for metal rings.
Just double check on the size and order them early.
For autocross the plastic rings should do fine.
Only on the track for longer sessions and for a longer course would you generate higher temperatures but it is possible to overheat and melt plastic rings.

Got mine a bit ago. They may have gone up in price - kind of like gas.

 

Sport Compact Car melted plastic rings on their Neon SRT project:

I'd like some carbon fiber ones

 

would the CF's adhesive be able to sustain such heat?
