SHAHZ Posted April 5, 2015 Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 Interested to hear what people think of these? My ideal is to have the correct size bore, but are these ok to use? Any do's or donts when using them or should they be avoided if possible and get correct size in the first place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam_r Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 They are fine as long as they are the correct size. I class plastic ones as 'throw away' items... So once they become damaged, get some new ones. Metal ones last forever but have a tendency of cold welding themselves to the hub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 Do you also have spacers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHAHZ Posted April 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 Cheers Adam, I guess I'd be more comfortable running the metal ones then! Mmmm was potentially planning to run some spacers .... The wheels I want are proving difficult to get....actually, Tony are you able to source wheels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 Yeah we can get wheels.... If you go for spacers you need this type Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 Those are spacers which brings the wheel out, I thought he was referring to spigot rings, which are just to centre it on the hub to stop vibrations. Aren't these 2 different things? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 Yes bit it shows the benefit of hub centric spigots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 But with those you'd need longer bolts as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHAHZ Posted April 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 Will ping over some details of the ones I'm after later mate.... Are those spacers with the spigot rings built in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 @ Rich, yes but it normally comes as a kit.... Shaz yes hence the reason i asked if you were thinking about spacers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHAHZ Posted April 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 Cool, those Id feel more comfortable using as it's something bolted on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 Two birds, one stone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHAHZ Posted April 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 Ok I may have actually sourced the wheels I want, well a very similar rim, the zitos I wanted are actually a copy of the miro's from the states. So, in regards to spacers, for the rear I will have room for the above type, no problem there! With the front however I may not have much room for manoeuvre and as such may need to go for the standard spigots...., metal or plastic? Rim bore is 74.1, my cars is 72.6?

Tony Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 Both types will do, plastic is better i think because it won't get fused to the alloy over time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
