    Front wheel hub

    Looking for a good used (or cheap new) hub (where the wheel bolts go) for the front of my 325i. Some of my threads are a bit buggered by the PO and before I convert to race studs I'd like a good base. I'd just get one at the junkyard, but it's cold out now. 8)

    May I strongly suggest a new one? they're not cheap, but for ~$100 per side, you'll have NEW bearings and a new hub so the threads will be perfect.

    If this is for your specE30 car, I'd DEFINITELY go with new.

      If you can afford it, I would recommend going with Barry Battle's (RoadRaceTechnologies) repacked hub/bearings. He pulls them apart, inspects them, and repacks using synthetic grease. They run $120 each. I've got them on my track E30 and they have held up well so far.
