most wheels dont come with hubcentrics, but you can go to any tire shop and just tell them you would like a set, and they have a bucket full of those things, usually it doesnt really matter if its plastic or aluminum... I would get plastic though...

Ok, I stil need to know the answer to my question though...Plastic hubcentric rings break very often in compeition and therefore are undesirable.

what is a hubcentric ring, anyway?

I've had two sets of Rota's (not slipstreams, though) and hadn't had to use them...

They're the little plastic or metal ring inside the wheel where it goes on the hub. Not al wheels have them. I take it the Rota's don't then?

ah ... I have all plastic and I have never had a problem with them... if they are braking them someone isnt putting their wheels on right, or thet're brakes are gettin un godly hot, to cause them to melt...

Do you constantly push your car to its limits? Do you road race it frequently? In any case, I have had breakage problems and prefer to not even deal with them anymore. So if anyone knows if the slipstreams has them or not please let me know...

Are the slipstreams aluminum? How much do they weigh?

Thanks
