Hubcentric Ring Problem

[R3Z3N]

Taylor, I had talked to BBS about hubcentric rings, and apparently there are 2 types of centerbores. I know your not on BBS wheels, but another solution would be to get your wheels sleeved with the correct centerbore.

If it's the depth which is the problem, I think you have a wheel that is not designed to work with hubcentric rings.

bringing up a very dead thread but did this ever get resolved?

So since mine snapped into the wheel and fit over the hub, I am lost as to how yours should work. My GF's Momo wheels work the same way, but the old set of ASA wheels I had used the cheesy little cone on the hub, which sucked.

Well mine can snap onto the wheel or snap over the hub. Either way, they aren't working. Haha

Ahhh, I see what you mean now. I didn't catch that it was "depth" that was the issue. I'm as lost as you are, unfortunately.

Wow that's not good I've stumped the instumpable.

Shit

I don't know if mine are 10mm or not, I'll have to take a pic with a ruler forya.

That would be awesome!! Hopefully they are tall enough cuz I just need to get this fixed. Hell I might just take one ring over to my machine shop that my shop uses and see if they can machine me one that is long enough.

Basically as of now, the rings are sitting on the hub and they are probably about 1/4 inch from touching the wheels so I would think that anothe 1/2 inch should do the trick.

Thanks to all,

Hey Fiend, the reason I made that post was because of your post...I just didn't want to muck your thread up.

Mine were $10 for all 4, installed. They are about 10mm in height, I suppose. they literally snap in to the wheel, and allow far easier wheel mounting, so I know they fit directly on the hub.

Is the wheel area recessed or something? Seems odd that they don't fit onto the hub.

Anyway, good luck!

Yeah that's. Basically the problem. When the rings per in place on the hub they don't stick out far enough in order to center the wheel. I'm thinking I would need a ring that is at least double the regular length. It sucks that I have to deal with this little shake but I just wanna figure it out. I believe the rings I have are about 10mm like you said so I don't think they will work for me.

Thanks,

I just bought six from the tire rack (they're plastic, eh) 57.1 to 64.0.. $3 a piece.

[E30_fiend]

Thanks for the link but I had read that earlier this morning and I really didn't pull anything from it other than he bought "gorilla" brand gun rings. I believe I have looked at those before and they were the same height as mine were. But maybe I'll check further into it.

Any prices on a set of 4 off the top of your head?

I paid $48 for mine shipped. 57.1 to 67.1


Thanks,

Well, he must have told you the wrong size. Head to a local wheel/tire shop that has a selection of rings and find the right ones. Or, maybe someone that has the right ones will post here...

Jay

Well I don't know. The rings fit perfect on the hub and inside the wheel but they just aren't long enough. I thought all hubcentric rings were the same thickness. Like from the base to the top but I guess I will need some other ones.

Anyone help me with this?

Oh and thanks for the input Jay.
