For those of you with ROTA slipstreams, subzeros and the like..... these rims are not hub-centric and I personally have been riding on my sub-zeros for about 1 year.
I would really like to know if a hub-centric ring is made for these rims for Hondas. If they are not purposely made... is there some where I can buy somehing to do it ? (How would I do the measurements for that ?)

I have asked some of the local rims shops and they told me that they (rings) are not made for this brand/model. I don't really like rims that cannot be made hub-centric, so if anyone knows where I can get a set of rings... that would be awesome.

I use the same rings for my Axis wheels, Slipstreams, and they also fit the Kosei K1.

Discount Tire/Tirerack carries them/can order them. Konig makes them and the part number is I forgot. It was posted on here before but I couldn't find it in a search. Call them and ask or go into one they should be able to help you out.

 

So I would therefore assume, since the Konig/Rota Subzero (my rim) is the same rim, that the hub-centric ring would be identical for both ?

I will try Tire Rack... thanks for the info.

 

maybe im an idiot...but what are hubcentric rings for? are they needed?

 

I watched POPULAR HOTRODDING yesterday. It was explaining this

Hubcentric means the weight of the car is carried on the hub.

Lugcentric means the weight is carried by the lugs.


There is a ring you can get that makes the hub take up some of the weight.

 

like he said.... Just look at your stock rim and you will notice the rim meets the lip on the hub, this takes stress away from the lug nuts.

For instance... I have 2 damaged front lugs. Racing on a track can put undue stress on the lugs.... so hubcentric rings would alleviate some of that.

What are the diameters of these? The OD of the hub, and the ID of the wheel? I had these on my Koseis, but I sold the whole package. I now have the Rota C-8's and don't have the rings. I'd like to get some too.. I will do research, however if anyone comes up with answers, please post here!!!

 

You guys get me worried. I am about to place an order for Rota wheels. Do these hubcentric rings not come with the wheel? What about pricing of them? Let's get some more info on the table.

damn this is odd coincidence, I just went searching for some of these today with no luck, about all i can say is that the ring should be about 56mm for the hub and about 67-69mm for the wheel, we tried 4 standard sizes from 65mm OD to 72mm OD.... no go though, I'm gonna contact rota and machIII shortly and see what is possible...

{edit: I'm wondering if rota uses the same rings for all their models... hmmm..}

No need to be worried. The rims can be used without the rings without a problem. They do not come with rings, some rims do tho.... (my Momo's originally did) but not the rotas.... It's would be better to have 'em, but don't worry too much if you don't. It just causes a bit more strain on the lugs and a slight vibration at high speeds at the worst.

Still looking for info.

Interesting....I am thinking about getting some Rotas soon.

 

aLmoSt-vtec on this board ordered some hubrings for his teg to use with 15" Subzeros, both from Walee at machiii.net
they took a month or two to arrive but he did get them.
only like $20 or less.

give Walee a shout---> (415) 594-0030 info@machiii.net

 

I have a set I'm not using - got them for my slipstreams, but it turned out they're not the right size for a 5th gen Prelude (larger hub than other Hondas, apparently). I'll find the exact measurements when I get home, and post. $10 shipped.

 

thanks for the 411.

 

http://www.seriousauto.com/wheels-tires/sub-zero/

they list rota hubcentric rings for integra/civic

 

I just ordered these, so we'll see how it goes!!! I'll let everyone know... they're comming out of so-cal, and i'm in nor-cal, ship them tomorow (Wed) they should get to me by friday... Thanks for the link Dustin!!!

 

I think that's where I got mine . . . The ones I have are for 16" wheels (if there's a difference).

Hub Ring #73-5615
Wheel Bore size: 73mm
Vehicle Hub size: 56.15mm

It says it'll fit all CRX, Preludes, & Civics up to '92, Accords up to '90, & Integras. But I'd take some measurements to make sure. Like I said, $10 shipped to anyone who's interested - johdavi@yahoo.com

 

Is there any safety concerns when running these rings?

 

Dustin... you are da man.... no matter what JG says about you....

j/k.... about JG... um... being a cop... errr.... I'll stop while I get some head... err a head.... awww.... forget it !!

Mucho thanks Dustin !

 

Serious Auto is a great place. I ordered the rings at 4:00pm Tuesday. They arrived at my door at 6pm on Wedneday. I didn't have a chance to put them on yet. Just wanted to give props to Serious Auto. Plus they included some candy in the package...

Serious Auto -

 

How sweet.... pun intended

 

Yeah, that place is pretty cool. I talked to them when I was buying my rotas and almost went down and picked up a set directly from them (pretty long drive).

However, I got stupid and ordered them on the group buy for like $20 cheaper and earned myself this from UPS (after 3 weeks of them misrouting the package to miscellaneous US states):

OUCH....that hurts...

 

Yea, that sucks... Plus I bet you didn't get candy...

Were you able to get any money for damages, or return the wheels and get replacements?

 

I got replacements. That took another week or two

lack of candy
