Re: Hub RINGs needed!!!

["Robert Slayden" <rslayden@skyenet.net>]

Hey guys,

I don't know if you've tried or not, but I work at Discount Tire and we have
a pretty good selection of hub centric rings in stock.  You need to know
what the outer diameter and the inner diameter of the rings need to be.  You
can take your car and let them check it out if you want or you can take a
wheel off and measure it.  I had to put these on my GTI VR6 when I put on
some 17" wheels and it cured the vibe that I was getting.  I have a set of
16" to put on my car but am not going to mess with them until next summer so
I don't know the size.

Just call Discount tire direct,,, the ads in the magazines and tell them
what kind of wheels that you have and they can probably tell you the size
hubrings that you need.
