FS: Hubcentric Rings, OD=73.10mm & ID=60.10mm
I got a brand new set (4 pieces) of Hubcentric wheel rings...for aftermarket wheels...made of polycarbonate hard plastic....better than metal ones.
Its to center your wheels to your hub...eliminating vibration and uneven wear to your tires.
$20 shipped (includes paypal).
Thanks.

Quoted from various websites.....
Q: Which ring should I use, those hi-tech looking aluminum rings or the composite Polycarbonate plastic?
A: While aluminum rings look Hi-Tech, they actually are not as good as the composite Polycarbonate plastic rings. The drum or rotor snout of most vehicles are made of cast iron, so when a raw aluminum ring is placed directly against it and even a small amount of moisture gets in, corrosion occurs almost immediately, making it very difficult to get the wheel off of the car.

The composite Polycarbonate material acts like an "O"-ring, eliminating this common problem.
