i got the measurement of like 73mm for my wheel but what size is the other measurement of our 04-06 ls430's?? thanks all..

BTW my last set of hubrings sold with the wheels and now i have a new set of wheels without hubrings, and i am trying to order the correct size hubrings.


also what is the difference between plastic and aluminium hubrings besides the material they are made out of??

I believe the Lexus hub size is 60.1

looks like i need these:

73 mm x 60.06 mm Plastic $24.99
73 mm x 60.06 mm Aluminum $34.99

from 1010 tires at http://www.1010tires.com/hubrings.asp

is there any benefit to aluminum over plastic; i've only ever owned plastic prolly like 4 sets now and never had any issues and really never knew about aluminum but i have seen a pair or 2 and always wondered??? thanks again,


BTW the 73 is for Trafficstar in case anyone was wondering, and 73mm may be for all riverside (the maker of a lot of these nice japanese wheels) wheels too.

Not really. the aluminium ones will last longer and take more abuse,but unless you're swapping wheels constantly,that's not really a factor.

I've used plastic rings on my last few cars,with no issues. Save yourself the $10 on this.

My daughters IS300 has aftermarket rims that her snows are mounted on. Last winter I did a front brake job on the car for her. When I took off the front wheels, I saw that the plastic centering rings were distorted / crushed. I think I'd opt for the aluminum ones considering what I saw. Her winter to summer swaps have been performed at the local Lexus dealer. They've been nice enough to store her tires for her.

i remove my wheels alot,cleaning and waxing and rotating the wheels,i would get the metal one if you plan on removing the wheels often.

do you own all those cars presently or just in the past (at one point you owned each of them)??? ^ ^ ^

i'm guessing you don't own them all presently cuz as much as i day dream about what i would own if i had the money and garage space a few of yours are odd choices is all. most of them seem like daily driver choices and not classic unique design choices that one would own all at the same time, but i could be wrong...

Someone told me the metal ones some times cause the wheels to get stuck on the hub do to rust.

You could put some Permatex brake grease on them to combat that... The stuff is very thick so it doesn't spin off. I use it on the mating surfaces of my rims and rotors.

I have used both. If you are repeatedly swapping wheels then i would go with aluminum, if not, then plastic will work just fine.

I'd say it's his lifetime list. Mine is similar,20+ cars in as many years of driving....

yeah you would have had me for sure with the x2 cobalts anyhowzer nice lineup of cars you've had there, mine is somewhat less impressive,

(29y.o.) 1990 mitsu eclipse (used), 2000 mitsu eclipse (new), 1990 honda integra (yes honda in japan), 95 nissan gloria (in japan), 99 jeep grand cherokee limited (limited to on road only), 200? neon, 99 gs400, 04 scion xa, 05LS430UL, future: something fun and topless and most likely japanese (looking for clean 04+ turboed less than 17500 s2000)...
