Default Hub Centric Rings Help!?!?!?!

I just put on a set of rota gt3s on my 2001 gsr and there wobbling and making all sorts of messed up noise. I took them back to the shop who installed them and they said to get hub centric rings for um. I looked on ebay and what not and Im not sure what size I would need.

Can anyone help??

the shop should have provided them and shouldnt have installed them w/o the rings. dumbass ****. i know that the integra hub is 56mm but maybe someone else can tell you the diameter for the gt3s. so for the rings you would get 56.02(+-.02) inner diamter and (rota gt3) outer diamter.

actually, i suggest you go to another shop that has the rings and tell them to just fit them on your hub and into the rims and see which of the rings fit best.

Be very careful. I suggest checking the lug nuts (conical lug for conical wheel seat, stock Honda lugs are ball seat). I also suggest checking your wheel bearings and ball joints just in case. I have never used hub-centric rings and have never had any issues (and this is a full track car).

Acorn is not a seat style. Acorn refers to the fact that the nut size is not the largest diameter of the lug nut. This creates more clearance to fit a socket on the lug for many rims that have small openings. I also use acorn style nuts.

I suggest checking to make sure the Mugen nuts have a conical seat and not a ball seat. I am pretty sure Mugen would make conical nuts and you are OK, but it can't hurt to check.
