Just purchased Antera 323, 18 x 8 chrome wheels for my 2005 LS 430.
Really, really, really need hub rings. Apparantly these are a special type that have a c-clip type fitment.
Can anyone out in Lexus land supply them...or at least point me in the proper direction.

what are u talking about c clip. hub rings should fit around the hub and fit inside the wheels bore.
take a pic to show what you are saying

^^^ I agree....hub rings....c clip?

I am repeating how I have been advised (and that advice has been rather inconsistent at best). The point is that I need hub rings that will match the wheels to the car. The wheels are currently installed "lug-centric" (so pics are unavailable for the moment) and although the ride is fine around town, on the highway there is a slight vibration.
Thanks for the quick responses...anyone know a supplier?

I agree with the previous posts. I've never heard of a "c-clip" before. As for the hub rings, you can find them on e-bay but I got mine from a CL vendor called B2Designs. You can ask Charles about the the clip thing you asked about. It'll be good to support the vendors here

Thanks for the suggestion.
Forget about the clips. I am sure I was either misinformed or misunderstood...
I tried B2Designs...they are looking...no luck yet.
I may have found a resource out of California (and am trying to contact Antera as a back-up).
Worse case scenario is getting some made.

I figure I suggested them too because they are based out in Florida since that's where you are at.

Thank you for the consideration!
I contacted the Manufacturer in Italy and they hooked me up with the US east rep (also in Florida), so it appears that this is solved.
I think the hang up was/is the wheel bore diameter is an odd size 75mm.
Thanks again.

An update. Received the rings...and yes they have a c-clip type fastening system. I have included a couple of pics. This whole process is new to me, and I find this method interesting. I am looking forward to finalizing the installation.
