hub centric rims

[GU357]

Hey Guys
I wanna install a set of Buddy club rims on my jazz had the rims a while but wanna put em on, small problem (atleast i thought).
theres no hub centric rings

i thought i would steal ones from my old rims, the rears font have any ill check later if the fronts do.

but where do you get em? Do you need them?

and what size fits the jazz hubs?

Taleb tyre on forum here has them for about $20 a set.

Ebay usa for like $10. The first set i bought didn't fit properly, i had to sand them down was a pain in the ass. Second set i got fitted perfectly.

The ID should be 56.1, same as civic and integra. But just measure your hub and the hub on your wheels.

OD = diameter of wheel hub
ID = diameter of your car's hub

so you'll want something like 73.1-56.1 or 67.1-56.1

I'd say just get em, it's not that expensive. You might experience some vibrations if you run aftermarket wheels without the rings.

Polycarbonate rings are around 10-15 bucks, the metal ones are about 25-30 bucks. Doesn't really matter which one you get

ahh right thanks guys im gonna measure the wheel bore tonight, and just double check the hub center size too, 56.1 sounds right

and are the front n back different? or do the back have none?

[charliebrown]

Front and back same. You need all 4

[GU357]

awesome.
thanks guys

also know a good place to get them (online or wherever?)
i would give yas a +ve rep but i have no rep power BAHAHA

Ebay mate. Search 'hub ring 56.1'. If you can wait, get it from the US, you'll save a few bucks lol

[GU357]

yeh maybe, ill check it all out later tonight

in the mean time would it be ok to run them without just for i dunno a week?

[charliebrown]

Heaps of people run without hub rings, don't even know what they are. Chances of your wheels falling off or studs breaking isn't high

[GU357]

yeh, i went to all the auto shops down the auto zone part of northern perth, 2 out of 6 places new what they were but couldnt get them.

one guy wanted to sell me a clutch hub and the other one was talking about wheel covers, i must of been talking to the trainees

[charliebrown]

Ahhah yeah, when i needed a set i called up some places too, they were like "uhh... bring car down i have a look".

just grab em off ebay, shops will wanna charge you like $10 each or something

Just make sure you got the right measurements. If possible, source out the manufacturer of the rims. They'll have it for sure.

Don't really need hub centric rings if the nut seat type for the rims is tapered. The tapered seat nuts when screwed in will centre the rims for you.

My Civic is using Work Emotions that required tapered nuts and it ran without hub rings. I got a set of hub centric rings for the car recently and it made bugger all difference.

FYI I just called Bobjane and they said they're about $10 each. I think im just going to get them there because I can take the wheel in and make sure they fit first.

goddamit my bobjane said he has to know the rim type and it has to be one they supplied for them to get the right size one.
i told him Buddyclub AU went broke so good luck getting them in xD

Yes that was very informative.

But i was always checking the rims out today, so i took the rims that i had on before to fit these new ones for the time being until i got some rings

well i had replaced three of the wheels, and then when i removed the last one and laid it down a peice of plastic fell out, so i looked at it and LOL! it fits my new rims. i didnt know that the old rims had them, so ill re use them temporarily until new set come.

thanks everyone.
you were righ 56.1mm hub and the bore was 73.1mm

[vtecing]

Awesome win there mate. Also I took my wheels to bob jane yesterday, they matched up some rings and made sure they fit and only charged me $12 for the set :)
