Hub Centric Rings - Enkei SC05
Just picked up a set of Enkei SC05's (18 x 8) to run on my 04 6MT. They fit great over the Brembos (thank God), but the dealer did not supply, and will not supply, hub centric rings to fit them.
I was trying to see if I can get them online, and 1010tires.com seems to be the only reliable source I can find ($39.99 for aluminum 75mm OD, 64.1mm ID). Anyone have any other suggestions on where I could pick up a set?
I'd appreciate all the help I can get.
PS: Picked up the wheels from thewheelconnection.com. They got me the wheels for a good price, but I would not recommend them for their customer service and support (consistent 45 min wait to get anyone on the phone).

what is this "ebay" (duh). Thanks for looking these up stillhere.
So another question, should I consider differences in polycarbonate vs. aluminum rings. One of the places I talked to said that I should go for aluminum because that’s what enkei recommends, another said it doesn’t matter.

aluminum is good... if you plan to keep only those wheels on ur ride and I mean only
aluminum rings will seize to the hub or to the wheel, even if you put a bunch of anti-seize
I mess with polycarbonate simply because you inspect them and if one is miraculously damaged you just replace it with another cheap one...
$10 for the kit aint bad... order up 2 have 1 as a backup then
I just finished ordering hub rings for my teg (its the only reason why I knew the ones ur looking for were on fleBay)

Like Still, i picked up a set from Ebay, the plastic ones... alot of people recommend them, I don't think they break that often and if it does...cheap to replace.
I bought a set of used rims and the aluminum ones did seize on...was a bit of a pain to remove, had to take a small hammer and screwdriver to it.
