need help with wheel problem

Aight i was having slight vibration over high speeds so i went to my local shop to get it looked at and the mech said that i would need a piece that fits in the middle part of rim so that it would fit snug against the ring on the middle part of the rotor. he says its a spacer but i dont think it is. if u need a quick illustration i can draw it in paint really quick.

He is talking about a hubcentric ring that is sized for the hub bore of your wheel on the outside and is sized for the hub diameter of our cars. You can get them at most any wheel/tire shop.

There are posts all over the place about this so prepare to get flamed here pretty quickly.

Its called a hub centric ring. If you have aftermarket wheels that is probably the cause of your vibration. What you will need to get the correct size is the hub size & the center bore of your wheels. There are plastic & aluminum ones both have good & bad qualities. Plastic could crack eventually (I have had these for 2 years with NO problem) but are quiet, aluminum wont break but I have heard they can rattle a bit.

Just call Tirerack or Discount Tire and tell them what you got/need.
