Are you guys running hub centric rings with your sportmax's and if your not would you guys possbily to get some cause i have a really good connection for them. so we could possibly start a group buys on them.

 

[Sid]

nope I dont run hubcentrics...

 

[mrolo74]

Well if theres enough of us that dont have them i can get them for a reasonably good price.

 

[Flyineunos]

I'm interested. Whats the price?

 

[sparky95]

I use them. What is the diffrence if you don't use them?

 

[urban]

i think these are essential.
i have one set i need two more at least.
whats your price?
i have been trying to find some.

o and the ones that'll fit the sportmax fit all rotas , and pretty much every other miata fwd wheel.

 

[Evo MR]

Can someone tell me what these do? or what they are...

 

[Miatadam]

They're a small ring that goes in the center of the wheel to ensure that the wheel is hubcentrically aligned on the hub, so as not to cause and imbalance in the wheel. It keeps your steering wheel from shaking. Like these..

 

[xn7]

uh oh. what wheels need this..

 

[redroadster27]

I'm definitely interested. What would they be made out of?

 

[reckless_abandon]

i ditched mine. havent noticed a difference.

 

[mrolo74]

The Hubcentric rings that i can get are made of that really hard plastic and would probaly be like $15 bucks a set probably $20 shipped in the lower 48 states.

 

[urban]

they help keep the wheel centered on the hub.
without these you are depending on the taper of the lugs to center the wheel for you.
you can live without it, but i would like to have them.

there a good idea for daily driving, but if you ever track your car, most race teams don't use them cause they tend to melt at the track

 

[JMarsh]

I didnt get a set of rings with my 002s, and am not getting a set. For me, it seems to be a "must have" item.

 

[Sid]

Ive never run rings, ever. on any set of wheels. they seem like more trouble than their worth if they melt.

 

[flippy02]

well if you heavily track your car, they'll melt

 

[Miatadam]

I have a set in my shop that are made of metal. Maybe the plastic ones are some sort of cheaper knock off??? Or is that what they have come to..

 

[spd33]

Discount Tire Direct sells metal rings all day long for $18.50. How much cheaper could a GB price be?

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but does anyone know what size rings are required for the sportmax wheels? Is it 67/54 or the 73/54?
