To all AXIS HIRO owners!!!
Do you guys use HUB rings? Im asking because my wheels came with 4 Hub rings and when i went to this place to get new tires they lost 2 of my rings. My car used to ride really smooth on the freeway but now I notice a slight vibration at 70-80mph. Where can i buy these hub rings? Do they come in different sizes? What size do i need?
Thx for your time...

^ dido ebay has the plastic one's which retail for like $10... I'd make the shop either order you some or reiumburse you for it... if you go to a local wheel shop they will charge you lie 25 bux for them...

I always have extra hub rings because when you take the wheels off alot... you tend to lose em... good luck

ps. enjoy the wheels

Plastic .. metal tends to corrode and bond to the hub.

If the center hole in the wheel is larger than the protrusion on the center of the hub you do.

plastic is better. aluminum does tend to corrode to the hub...

anywheel that doesnt have a hub bore of 64.1 will need a ring, otherwise it'll vibrate all the time
