Custom Hubcentric rings

Does anyone have experience finding hub rings that are not of common specs? My DPE wheels are supposed to be a 78mm outer bore, and I can't seem to find a 78mm-64.1mm. Has anyone ever seen anything?

check your install shop. They will probably be the best help. Aluminum will corrode over time–but I've read where plastic does stay-put, when you put them on.

Got my custom HUBCENTRIC spacers there.. $40 each. Well worth the money if you ask me..

They might be a little far for you, but they'll measure your wheel and your centrebore and ship you, your spacers!

When torquing down the wheels I just made sure I kept tightening each lug VERY little by little by hand until it wouldn't go anymore. Then used the torque wrench to continue this process till 75lbs. Vibrations be gone!
