Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    Does anybody know of a bricks and morter shop that sells alloy spigot rings. Ive checked all local motor factors, Halfords, and every tyre place I can find, and nobody seems to stock them. They all just send me to each other.

    The size I'm looking for, in case it makes any difference, is 54.1 - 56.1

    Thanking you all in advance

    Very unlikely.

    It's not the stuff they're selling on daily basis plus huge combination of inside/outside sizes would require massive amount of stock being kept.

    Better go ebay or the likes. :)

    I measured mine and bought them on eBay. It's probably the best place to buy them. Halfrauds are charging rip-off prices for them :pac:

    i don't know if you'd get them that slim. that's just a 2mm difference. if there is a bit of surface rust on the hub it would compensate that gap.

    Yeah, they're for a corolla, which has a slightly smaller hub than most.

    It was suggested to me in one motor factors that, given the size, I'd probably get away without them. He recommended tightening up the nuts by hand with an appropriate sized socket first to keep centered, then tighten up fully
