hub/centering rings?
 
I swear this has been discussed somewhere here before, but I couldn't find it. I plan on installing my 17x7 Konig Tantrums, w/ 215/45/17s in about a week when my car comes back from the body shop :)

My friends with 18s say that they needed hub rings, or else their cars vibrate like mad. My question is would the wheel/tire package I bought vibrate without using hub rings, or should I buy some just in case? Is there a certain kind to buy, or is it all generic?

Thanx for reading my dumb question[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

If you need hub rings, the wheels should come w/ them..........
I have motegi mr-7's and they came w/ these plastic pieces of crap, looks like they don't do anything, but I gurantee if I didn't have em, Id be srcewed,.......ask the MFG. of the wheel,.....I'm sure they'd know.....

Trust me....hubrings make all the difference. I have heard that if you do not have the hubrings and the wheel is even slightly offcenter, it will bounce around like mad. It should be a hard plastic piece that fits on the inside of the hub of the wheel. I know mine came from American Racing, you might wanna check there...they should only be a couple of bucks too....

I have no idea what Checker is, but I am sure it is an auto store in your area...as far as I know, if theys tock the wheels at Pep Boys, they should have the hubrings...just ask one of the guys behind the counter because you need them ordered specific for your car...

I ordered some motegi mr-7's as a mounted tire package, and I'm not sure if they came with them or not. I guess they could have mounted them on the wheel before shipping them out, but my car rides just fine....hmmm...

Hahaha, didn't even notice that. I ended up working 80 hours this week, and last week, so I've been a walking zombie, so that would prob explain it.
