And before any of you ask, they state that they will not ship to Canada. That's why I can't buy it from the link above.

ThanX.

I think you can go to places like wheels direct, steelcase, or any other tire shops and order them.

I heard metal hub rings are not good though. I heard the plastic one are actually stronger and don't bend like the metal ones.

Did you try messaging the guy on ebay to see if he would ship them if you pay the extra shipping costs? Alot of the time these guys will ship to Canada.

hey sometimes if you ask them nice they will ship to Canada. I've had atleast 1 or 2 incidents where it said ships in states only but i asked and they said they would ship to canada if i won the auction. the worse that can happen is they say no.

ya, i already e-mailed him. No reply yet though. Just asking for another source where I can pick em up.

There are the the Poly Carbonate versions on ebay as well. But I don't think they are the right size.

They can't be the only Ebay seller that sells metal hub ring right?

I am going to use black plastic ones. Not sure if they are plastic, but they came with the wheels I bought used. Not installed, yet.

On your aftermarket wheels, that big hole where the wheel cap covers. Some holes are larger than your OEM hub because the wheels are designed to be universal so different car with different hub size but the same bolt pattern can still use the same wheel.

Bah, I forgot to tell you what they do. You see when the hole is too big for your hub, the wheel is really resting on your wheel studs, in this case, 4. Even if you tighten the wheels down with lug nuts, all of a sudden, the lug nuts are doing all the works to keep the wheel in place. That's a lot of pressure and stress on the lugs and the studs. By having a hub ring, now the gap is reduced to very minimal, almost the same gap as your OEM steelie. That way, everything fits nice and close and all shares the load together.
