Aftermarket alloy fitting

victorgte · 12th September 2018, 16:47

I've just put together a set of winter wheels and tyres. Went to fit one alloy and it's clear 2 alloys have a ring fitted and the other 2 are missing. Pictures show the ring fitted and in my hand. Where would I get 4 new rings? Can't see the point of using the 2 old ones.

There hub centric rings you need to know exact size inner and outer of ones you need sure they can be found on flea bay

That would mean the diameter of the outer part and the diameter of the inner? I've put a steel ruler against the ring showing the inner and outer edges. Looks like 56.5mm inner and 62mm outer.

ive found it tricky to measure old rings ! so first some where on a wheel speck site for rover 75 wheels it should have size of the 75 s hub it needs to go over so then you have inner size Then there may be a chance the alloys have size on them that outer of ring needs to be or if you know what car wheels came from you may be able to look up size from there

The wheels shown in the pics are 4 stud, the 75 is 5 stud.

What are the wheels from and what are you fitting them to. The rings are available on eBay just do a search and you will find them available in various sizes.

Just enter alloy wheel spigot rings in the search bar.

It’s for my Rover Streetwise. The 75 has had winter wheels/tyres for the last 3 years and they’ve been so good I’m going to run the Streetwise on winter tyres too. I’ll do the search thanks.

All the plastic rings I’ve had have the sizes stamped into the moulding
