i have R32 Wheels my mr2 but wheels balance problem
hi Guys
i just fitted new semi slick on and the wheel shop cant fix vibration after 110KPH. and they are saying its because of the wheels are not for mr2 and may need some O ring or somthing.
110k and under is very smooth.
any idea guy. or anyone has the same wheel on mr2

What they may be talking about is a ring that goes inside the wheel so it seats on the hub. I believe they are called hub centric rings. I believe they also shift the weight off the studs and onto the hub.

I'm sure you wouldnt be the first person to do it. Some people swear by them and others dont see the point, they're relatively inexpensive and if you are going to be doing those speeds often then they would be worth the investment.

As I understand it, NOT using hubrings is what puts your studs at risk, because without them, the wheel is no longer located by the hub… so all the pressure is on the studs. If you have any concerns, rings Peter Hennesey at Road and Race in Rydalmere and ask his opinion. Peter is as knowledgable about wheels and suspension as anyone, prepares race cars and he also races himself. http://www.roadandraceperformance.com.au/

I think people are confusing hub centric rings and hub centric spacers.... Hub Centric Rings align a non-standard rim to the hub of the car so the wheel is centered true and reduces the stress on the studs.  Hub Centric Spacers space the wheel out to change the offset and can apply additional loads to the studs. (However they are still a much better thing to use then NON-hub centric spacers).  If your wheel shop it telling you not to use hub centric rings, I would go find another place that knows what they are talking about....

Hub centric rings =  Hub centric spacers =  You have rings, not spacers, as you should.
