    Whats this?

    Is that a hubcentric ring on this wheel?


    As time went on, the factory developed the car each year, making it faster, more comfortable, and capable of handling at higher speeds.

    Looks like the back of the wheel to me. Most hubcentric rings don't have cutouts for all the markings on the back of the wheel.

          Josh, a hubcentric ring is a small piece that fits INSIDE the hub of the wheel :tsk:

            I think what Eurospeed had in mind was a spacer, in which case he would be correct, they don't come with cutouts like that.

            Back on topic, yes there does seem to be a little hubcentric ring in there.

              Yep, thats the ring... I had to order them for my Mille miglias, mine had a circlip that had to be removed to pull them out.

                He's right, I had it confused.

                  so we the people believe it is indeed a ring?

                      Yes, there is most definitely a centering ring in there. See immediately inward of the rusted part? There's a gold "C" shaped piece of metal (similar in diameter to a wire coat hanger) that can be popped out and then the centering ring can be pulled out. The gold thing is there to keep the centering ring in.

                      Now you just need the proper centering ring for your hub.
