Default Volk LE37T.. Hubcentric rings.

How many hubcentric rings are needed??

I ordered a set of volks with tyres and only received 2 hubcentric rings, i was told there just for the fronts??

Thing is, i'm getting some major vibration / wobble over 60mph, like it's unbalanced. Haven't checked the tyre balance yet, as the tyres were already mounted and balanced before shipping.

I got 4 w/ mine for each wheel. That is probably what's causing your vibration. You can check ebay for some.

hub rings have 2 sizes...the one that fits to the wheel and the one that fits to teh car..our cars are 66.06mm ...shouldnt be hard to find out the other size by calling a vendor or something..hope that helps

hub rings should fix your problem especially if your wheels arnt bent

Yes, Volks normally supplies them w/ the wheels (below). It helps center the wheels & prevents wiggling.

I really doubt that is what is causing the problem. More likely it is a poor wheel balance or untightened lug nuts. Did you make sure the wheels were torqued to spec?

Yer tried the lugs. The tyres were balanced before being shipped, haven't checked this yet though.

actually you would be surprised what hub rings can fix...if your wheels arent bent and the tires are balanced properly then hub rings are the likely answer

if you dont have any wobbling and you dont have any hub rings either then its not a problem...you can still have a good mount without rings, its just tougher
