if it's related to a bad install of the wheels, yes, if not, then no, it'll not take away the shaking ...

 

The wheels I dont think they are installed bad, I did it.
Not my first set but on this car it is.
Im getting new rims this week and want to stop this shaking.
What I been reading that alignment isnt realy going to do and these will?But for $12 why not try just want to make sure these are right for my car.

 

what I mean by "bad install" about the wheel is that some people said to have shaking without hub centric rings, but I don't have shaking problems related to not having those rings, but I also didn't installed the wheels myself ...

anyway, if you think you need them I say go ahead, they'll fit our cars.

 

well if your wheels don't sit flush on the hub and you haven't been using the rings, then you are putting WAY too much strain on the wheel studs. it very well may fix the vibration, but they should be on the car regardless

 

the rings doesn't help anything but helping the wheel install ... I have no rings and no vibrations, no problems here.

 

i have those same hub rings deestibo. they work well. i had some vibration issues and they went away with them installed.

jalmir,

you really can't install a wheel incorrectly. what you can do is get lucky enough that you have the wheels put on dead center of the hub, but one would never put that kinda detail into installing a wheel, it's ridiculous. also, the hub hole in your aftermarket wheels may be the same size as your hub, in which case you wouldn't need hub rings.

the problem is that without these rings your wheels are lug-centric. you can get super lucky and still have it centered on the hub but more often than not you will get vibration in atleast one and as spart said it's smart to have them anyway.

i suggest you pick up a pair. you might notice a smoother ride, and should have them anyway.

 

nope my wheel hub holes are bigger (73mm) and yes you CAN install a wheel incorectly : thightening one nut before centering the wheel correctly, the offset created (probably in mm) is enough to throw the wheel off balance.

If you take your time and screw the nuts "evenly" by hand before thightening them you'll be ok. My wheel hub hole are bigger then the stock hubs (as I just said) I installed the wheels 3 times on the car and NEVER had any vibration due to missing the hub rings.

And BTW our cars are not hub centric.

 

our wheels ARE hubcentric... it means that the hub centers the wheel.

because it would be far too expensive for wheel companies to produce wheels to fit every HUB, they punch out a hole big enough to work on all cars, and produce cheap plastic hubcentric rings to make it work for specific models.

without the hubcentric rings on an aftermarket wheel, it would make the wheel lugcentric... and such a strain is not supposed to be put onto the studs.

 

ok, so you're telling me that the whole weight of the car is hold by those little plastic rigns that can be bended and broken by hand?

don't think so ... yes the rings center the wheels so it help installation, but it's not the hub center that holds the weight of the car. If that would be the case 5, 6, 8 and more lugs wheels wouldn't exist ... 4 lugs would be enough to keep the wheel in place so the hub center could hold the car's weight! our car are definately lugcentric (as 98% of cars out there), if you think the contrary then me (and others) must have unique models because I don't have rings and don't have any vibrations problems...
