back in sydney!
uhm baygon i used to hav them but sold them with my old set of rims n never had time to buy a new set. it is safer to have them as it helps reduce vibrations and the stress on the wheel hub but a lot of people dont run them. if u wanna be on the safe side get them for sure, but dont get shitty plastic ones, get proper aluminum/metal ones
The weight of the wheel is actually taken by the frictional forces between the mating face of the wheel and the face of the hub.Quote:

More important IMO than the rings, is using decent nuts, stay away from replica's and steel > aluminium
Thanks for the heads up guys, i think ill get myself a set, better safe than sorry. I did a measurement of the diameter i should get and its 67mm, can anyone confirm this?
My FD1 is 64.1mm hub bore from memory. I didn't think this was different for the FD2?
For the fd boys

This is the 5zigen turbo fd, fastest FWD at Tsukuba. The turbo sound like it would suck in any birds flying overhead.
