Hubcentric Ring Set (4)
Up for auction is a set of 4 composite plastic hubcentric rings that will fit any 5-lug BMW made in the late 70's through at least the early 2000's. These hubcentric rings have an outside diameter of 74.1mm and an inside diameter of 72.56mm. The leading edge is tapered.
Why install hubcentric rings? It is best to install a wheel with a center bore (the hole in the middle) diameter that is the same as the hub diameter of the car. A tightly fitting hub/wheel interface will lessen the chance of annoying wheel vibrations. All the BMWs mentioned above have a hub diameter of 72.56mm. The OEM wheels installed on those cars had a matching center bore so the wheels were centered on the hubs perfectly. This provides a nice smooth ride that sells cars.
The problem is that some BMW enthusiasts want to install larger and newer wheels on their older cars. Many of the newer OEM wheels (from E38 and E39 cars) have a center bore diameter of 74.1mm. When installed on a car with a hub diameter of 72.56mm, the wheel may not be centered about the hub and there will be a chance of a wheel vibration at speed. The solution is the fill the gap between the two different diameters with a hubcentric ring.
Are these rings durable? These are high strength composite plastic that won't fuse to the hub or wheel as do alloy rings. When installed they will last for long time. Loose, they are somewhat fragile, so please use care when handling them.
What is included? Included are 4 hubcentric rings, one for each hub.
How do I install them? Installation is very simple. Just clean up the hubs, slide the rings on, and then install your "new" wheels. I recommend applying a dab of antiseize lube so prevent the wheel from adhering to the ring or hub itself.

2012 Renault Twingo Facelift revealed
Thu, 28 Jul 2011Renault Twingo gets a new nose for 2012 The Renault Twingo is Renault’s smallest car, and not one we Brits have really taken to our hearts, at least not unless we need very basic hire car when in Europe. So a 2012 facelift for the Twingo may not be huge news, but it is the last step on the way to an all-new Twing0 which will share its underpinnings with the next generation Smart and, we assume, become rear wheel drive in the process. The facelift we get on the Twingo looks like it’s going to be just the nose, as that’s the only photo Renault has released, unless they have a surprise in store for the Twingo when it arrives at Frankfurt in September.
