Exclamation Hub Centering Rings...Where to buy?

Does anyone know if there is anywhere in the DC-metro area where I can buy hub centering rings? Please advise.

Thanks!

Many local tire stores would have it. Otherwise, PM D2-Autosports.

Try Big Boy Toys in Oxon Hill on St. Barnabas Rd. almost across from Rivertown Shopping center. They sell rims and aftermarket stuff for cars and trucks.

Default Hub Centering Rings

I suggest you get the aluminum centering rings instead of the plastic. It can warp over time with the heat from your brakes. Fixed my vibration problems too. Get Aluminum, you won't regret it.

Smile Thanks for the advice...

I went ahead and ordered aluminum rings for my wheels. They should arrive next week. I can't wait!!! I'm tired of the slight vibration that I was getting from my wheels.

I had the same vibration with my new wheels. I got the hub centric rings and also got the car alignment done, which helped alot. If they aren't new, balancing the wheels help.
