Alloys

Hey guys

Not a vaux question but a rover. my gf has a rover 214 and just brought some new alloys, now the wheels fit but the bore diameter (cente of wheel where the center caps go) is slightly bigger than that of the standard.

will she need to have spiggot rings done? if so why and what difference do they make?

cheers guys

are they standard fitment alloys or are they aftermarket??? if they are standard alloys then no...aftermarket then yes

[kieron_67]

no they are aftermarket ones. what do they do? and how do you know which ones to get?

just go to a wheel shop and they will be able to help...they help to keey the wheel on the hub straight, helps alot when your trying to put the wheel back onto the hub...sometimes people get vibrations when they go at a certain speed because of not having a spigot ring

ok cheers guys

measure the bore inside the alloy, then measure the part on the hub, then you have the size you need for a spiggot ring

i think its easier to go to a wheel shop with car make and alloy make...they will look it up in their magic book lol
