Angry !@#$% wheel max!

i wish i had read the threads concerning wheel max, but when i got my wheels from there i did not even know about this site yet. my wheels do not have any problems, other than its damn near impossible to balance. so i figured the hub center rings would help. but i dont know the size of the hub center rings i should get for my Exel M-6 17's which is exactly like tenzo mean 6. i called up wheel max and they gave me some website at www.prestigewheels.com to buy hub center rings which is a site that has nothing to do with cars at all. i called them again and one of the reps gave me some numbers. i also asked for contact information concerning the company that made my wheels and they said they dont have any. what a bunch of BS!!! i went to another website that sold hub center rings, but it didnt have the size i needed which is 57mm inside and 62mm outside (whatever that means). so i just took the measurements of the tenzo mean 6 and ordered hub center rings at discount tires. man i hope they have the exact measurements or else i would have wasted 8 bucks which is one full meal at the local diner around here! sorry if this is a repost! im just furious at this company!

If you or someone you know has access to a machine shop... get some aluminium round stock on a lathe, then turn it down to 62mm, bore the inside to 57 and cut them off about 1/8" thick. There you go... centering rings.

what are some places that sell wheel packages and include all the needed accessories such as the hub center rings. i check discount tire direct and some other places like tirerack.com but they are really expensive and did not really have the wheels i wanted.

Holy Shiite you are right - the Velox & RH Evos are gone and Wheelmax used to say "We are the USA's largest _______ dealer" on both of those.
