anyone know where i can get some 59.6mm/70.1mm hub centering rings???
i found a place that will make them for $50.00 but most hub centering rings i see are all around 10 - 15 bucks
Thanks

 

The ones they sell at the Ebay Discount Tire store are very nice rings.

Any places that sell that size in aluminum and will ship them to Canada? Discount Tire says in their eBay ads that I'm out of luck, as they won't ship to me.

 

dicount tire told me they couldn't do that size and that they were only offering them for certain brands of aftermarket rims for certain cars only

 

http://www.1010tires.com/hubrings.asp <- have that size in plastic.

 

Wow, that's amazing. That's a hard OD to find. I would jump on that ****. I search for rings all the time. Usually it's 73mm outer or 67. I wonder where they are sourcing them. I think plastic is better cause aluminum I've seen seize on the hubs before.

I need that OD for my Mustang GT wheels. I've got some plastic rings already that I got from a local tire and wheel store (Kal-Tire). I'm looking for aluminum ones because I've read many reports of plastic ones melting with hard brake use, and I'll be going to Pacific Raceways in September, and I don't want a gooey mess when I pull the wheels off to check the brakes. 1010 has the right size in plastic, and ones with a slightly smaller ID in aluminum, but not the correct size in aluminum.

 

Plastic hubrings suck also,at least the ones I've had.They like glue themsleves to the hub,most likely from the heat.I'd take the aluminum anodized rings over the plastic ones,but add some antiseize to prevent corrosion from the steel hub.Maybe if the hubrings were made of a better plastic,something like "delrin" that has and better heat resistance/strength they might be better then the aluminum ones,I'm guessing though.

 

I'd be surprised if plastic ones that could take the brake heat generated from racing would be cheaper than aluminum ones. Rotor temps of over 1000 degrees F aren't too uncommon. The hum will be cooler, but still, it'll get awfully warm, and most plastics will melt at a few hunderd degrees. Seeing how the aluminum ones from 1010 are only about $10 more than the standard plastic ones, I don't see any reason to go making some unobtanium plastic ones.

 

well looks like i'll try out the ones from 1010, to bad they charge like 10 dollars for shipping Besides i'm sure that will be much better than just cranking the lugs down as tight as possible and hoping the car doesn't bounce as i drive down the road.

 

Well you don't need hub rings, they're a conveniance thing. They don't support the weight of the car, they just help hold the wheel centered when you tighten the lugs. You can get away without them if you tighten the wheels with the wheels in the air. Have you tried calling around to tire shops in your area to see if they can get you some hub rings? I got mine from a tire store, so it's worth a shot, as it may be less expensive.

 

i cant even read the thread cuz of ur stupid avatar
