Hub-centric Rings (Centring Rings)

Hub-centric rings fill the gap between a wheel's centre bore and the car's hub so the wheel is centred accurately.

What is Hub-centric Rings (Centring Rings)?

They are needed when an aftermarket wheel has a larger centre bore than the hub. They are made of plastic or aluminium. They help prevent vibration from an off-centre wheel.

How it works

The ring fits tightly on the hub spigot and in the wheel bore, centring the wheel before the nuts are tightened.

Why it matters for your car

Missing rings can cause vibration at speed. Use rings with the correct inner and outer diameters.
