    where do i find hubcentric rings???

    I have 16x7 BBS RKs and i called tirerack.com and they had nothing... who else would have these? is this a discontinued wheel?

    i need some super fast because i want to take my car to the track on May 2nd, and i need hubcentric rings or i'll be running with my stock wheels!!

    Thanks!!

    PS i searched.

    Tirerack didn't have them? That's really odd, I've called them every time I've ever needed hubcentric rings

    Try calling Discount/America's Tire.

            also dude man u can run without rings, test em on the street first to see if you get a shimmy but it could be absolutely perfect and centered.

            I concur, call direct tire. Hell discount tire direct had every size I asked for as well. They might not know what size your wheel is but if you measure it and ask for 67mm to 57.1 mm whatever it is they'll have

              Called Discount Tire, they don't carry BBS at all, so they couldn't tell me which ring i need, and i don't know the hub size on the BBS RKs.

              That's the thing, i don't know the size on my wheels. Are those standard sizes? if i measured my wheel hub on the BBS RKs with a ruler and got a ballpark dimension, would you be able to tell me what size they are?

              i had them on, they vibrated like like there were three spokes busted out, but i think it was because of the tires (they are shot, the tread is bubbling), so i can't actually tell if there is any vibration due to lack of rings. But i am worried about it because i want to buy new tires and take these wheels to auto-x, and i don't want to do that without rings.

                  just measured the hub on the BBS wheel the best i could and i got about 59.0mm. Does that sound right? is there a standard ring near that size?

                      they don't seem to have a phone number, they only have email addresses for contacts.

                      I measured my wheel as precisely as i could, with a piece of card paper i kept cutting down with a paper cutter and got it to perfectly fit in the wheel hub, and measured it with a metric ruler, and consistently 59.0mm, and i did the process twice.

                      at justforwheels.com i looked at the option for entering my own dimensions and the closest dimensions they have are 60.1mm to 57.1mm. This will be 1.1mm too big, but is that how it is supposed to be, a press fit?

                      thanks again for all the help.

                          keep in mind i measured it with a piece of paper and a ruler, not calipers. It very well could be 60. In fact it better be 60 or i am going to flip.:curse: ;)

                          i think i am going to go ahead and order a set of 60 to 57.1, and if they are too big, its machining time!

                            just ordered these: http://www.sfxperformance.com/parts/GOR605710.htm

                            not sure if they are in stock or not, or if they will get here in time for auto-x. If not, oh well...
