So the shop I ordered my wheels from was suppose to be getting me a set of hubcentric rings. Several weeks later and I'm still here in this predicament and no response... so I guess I'm going to have to order my own now. Haven't had time to take my wheel off and measure the center bore, but I'm also slightly disabled at the moment to work on my car. Is this measurement mentioned above the correct size I need to order? Thanks in advance.

says 73 on the website for 20" so i assume same goes for 18 and 19 for the LXZ since it is discontinued in japan and they are only re producing 50 sets and in 20" only...

the rings need to be nice and snug without any type of movement if not it wont do it's job how it was designed. Also make sure you balance the wheels with the hub rings on the car it made a hug difference on my ssr wheels and now my vibration is completly gone.

Awe some thanks for the info. However, do you think the .1mm difference that I'm finding online going to be a fitment problem for my 73mm bore? I also went onto SSR webite for the rings in the link you provided but they didn't have aluminum in our size. You said you have aluminum didn't you?

Okay, so update. I ordered a set of hub rings from Wed wheels NA. They're not made by weds, but sold by them. Not aluminum but plastic. I noticed the rings when put onto the hun have a little play not super snug. The rings I bough are 73mm-60.06mm. Asked for 60.1 but that's what I got. Anyways, the 73mm to the wheel bore fits snug and as others have said I had to use a rubber mallet to snug it into the wheel. The old rings went right in without any effort. Well driving around and I'm getting the same effect. I've had my wheels balanced twice. The second time they found all the wheel was still out of balance. I've heard of people swearing by some fancy wheel balance machine that i hear 168 motoring has. I'm going to try it. But do you think that's all that it could be? These are brand new wheels on brand new tires, now on brand new hub rings... I'm not feeling this vibration thing....

Yes sir. I called Weds and was told that if the shop had ordered my wheels hubcentric to my car then I wouldn't need the rings. It was an option the shop didn't do. Yours very well may be hubcentric to your car. I'm hoping the alignment is off only...

I think you may have a rim out of round or warped or maybe a bad tire. If you still have the oem rims and tires, I'd try swapping one rim/tire at a time and then drive to find out which rim/tire combo is giving you problems.
