For people with G35 wheels, do you use hub centric rings?

Mine neither. After a while when I swap wheels and the rings get stuck to the face of the wheel I actually need to pop the cover off the wheel and push with a screwdriver on the ring to get it out.

Heres the reply i got:


You recently placed an order with us for some hub centric rings, but there is a problem with the order. You left a note stating that these are for some OEM rims. Hub centric rings are designed for use with after market rims. After market wheels have a special "seat" machined into them for the hub ring to sit into. OEM wheels do not have this seat, so even if you get the size correct, they may not fit properly. If the rings do not sit flush, then the wheel may actually not sit flush on the hub of the vehicle and this will cause more vibration rather then less. As noted on our web site, we do not allow returns or exchanges on hub centric rings, so if you decide to proceed and they do not fit, you are stuck with them. Please reply to this E-mail and let us know if you want to proceed or if you prefer to cancel the order.
Did you end up buying them and installed them?

I am wondering if these center rings actually fit flush to the G35's 19"? Anyone has a picture of the back of these rims with the ring installed?

Also, I've found a set of poly locally here but it's 67.1 - 60.1. For people who posted with 67.1 installed, did it turn out ok or did you have to trim any?

Thanks,

Great write up guys. I actually have the new 19" G37 Sport wheels sitting here. Haven't had any time to mount them. I will soon though. Thanks for the advice.

Anyone know if it's the same specs as the 19" G35?

Thanks.

for the 2gs its 60.1. so on ebay look for XX.X for the G35 wheels to 60.1. the 10$ ones on ebay will do fine.

I bought Hubcentric Rings 67mm-60.10mm Set of Four C67-6010

I remember I had to trim just a little but it was a snug fit.

Hope this helps

how did you end up trimming/shaving it??
do you think it would have been better if you got the size smaller, 66.1

Probably, it may be a better fit but I'm not sure. I just used the dremmel to just shave a little bit off for a better fit. It's been a while. I know it's a very snug fit.

according to your sig on either car, u dont even have the g35 rims so maybe your rims use a different hubcentric ring?

Am sorry that my sig does not say I own a set of G35 wheels.

I use the G35 as spares when my GF drives my car or when I travel back and forth between east and west coast of FL. I have these for about 2 years now. Here are pictures test fitted, before and after paint and also a couple of random pics:

The info I posted was what I bought when I got those rims.

BTW I also own a set of Vossens 20's which also are not in the sig.

Got those from clublexus before they had to change their logo.

Another friend of mine made his own since he liked the original stickers better then the new ones.
