I just got some new volk wheels and they came with 4 of these small rings, which I think are known as "hub rings". They fit on the hub and inside the wheel, so I'm wondering what they do? Should I be using them? My current volks don't have them.. Here's a picture of one of the rings:

 

Yes you need to use them.

 

What size hubs rings do we need?

 

The ones in the photo above that came with my wheels say this on the outside:

73.1φ X 66.1φ

I'm not sure what those φ symbols are.

 

eek the devil?

I got hub rings too but they're plastic =(
anyways the slip doesn't mention the z on it thats why I was asking. it says 73mm and 67.06mm or 2.870" and 2.640"..

I was wondering why we needed these? Maybe it'll become a lot more clear when were putting the new wheels on..

 

Yes please..

 

yeah.. those rings are for centering your wheels... you HAVE to use them

 

+1. imagine riding around with rims that arent centered.

 

I didnt run them on mine for a while, no issues with handling, wobbling, tire wear even at high speeds. LE37's btw...

 

Aluminum is a lot better than plastic. Correct size hubcentric rings will ensure a vibration free ride.

 

I was supplied with the wrong size rings for my Enkeis and I'm currently running without until new ones arrive - no vibration, wobbles or any problems. Am I secretly damaging wheels, car or both?

 

Quick question bump.

Whats the best way to install these? on the rotor first or in the wheel?

 

put them on the rotor . they won't go all the way in , but when you put your wheels on and bolt wheels down they will go in .

 

No dont use them, thats why they sent them to you

edit-LMAO @ Chris's Q-on the rotor/hub!!

 

Thanks just wanted to make sure, I have volks but forgot...

 

Guess who got some LE37s ??? we're twins.

 

kinda funny how we both went front a 2 piece fat lip wheels to le's . i'm the le's brother front another mother though .

 

I hear ya brotha, I'm over big lip rims... The LE's look so nice and looks very easy to maintain that lip.

 

You guys will love the LE's!!!!


sorry OT.

 

Yes, run them. Not absolutely necessary, but definitely a great thing to have. If you already have a set, no reason not to put them on.
