ok, i went to 3 wheel/tire places. they all told me they did not have hubcentric rims, so im like
arent u supposed to be selling them along with rims?? and they told me that they were rarely needed, so then i asked how come my lug nuts sheered off like a month and a half ago. theyre response was that i prolly had loose lug nuts, or too tight. then i asked how come my car would vibrate alot? they said my tired were not balanced, which was true since i never balanced them, i just had some guy mount em for me. so i had them balance my tires and put them back on my car, the guy that put them on also told me my wheels were all on backwards and showed me that 2 of my rims are slightly bent. so i drove off and the vibrations were alot less, but i still have them. I think its my bent rims, but i still want the hub centric rings, can anyone link me to where to buy them, or can anyone sell me some?
P.S. those bastards charged me 50 bucks just for balancing my tires... i dont know if this was a fair price.
these are my rims:
I know pics arent very clear but it's the only ones i have, and i know alot of u have these same rims (and same car obviously) so im thinking some of u guys know what rings i need.
you need the rings. you can buy them on ebay. i forget the size, but if your search on this forum you'll find what you need. their pretty cheap also. 50 bucks for balancing isnt too bad. a little high though. i paid 60 bucks to get all 4 of my tires mounted and balanced.
wild weasel's site says the measurement for Jbodies is 57.1, does this mean that's the size we all need? regardless of the wheels we have? (so i can go on ebay amnd type in 57.1 hubcentric rings and buy those?)
57.1 is the hub diamter... you'll need to check the diameter of your wheel's hub bore... most are around 73mm i believe...
$50 for a balance? Ripoff. I can get four tires mounted, balanced, with stems, at Discount Tire for $44.

yes any aftermarket wheel you need hubcentric rings
I just have a question did you buy these rims from an online wheel site?
^^ yea ebay. thats y i didnt get the rings
I have always had them
The only reason I asked is that I have heard so many people that buy their rims and tires online get them and don't have a shop mount and balance them and they have promblems.
