K, I just know I need one. I've never seen one, but there is alot of slop in my wheels when I put them on. How can I get ahold of a hub-centric ring? Where can I find one for my ACE DC103 Wheels?

the hub openings on 99.9% of aftermarket wheels are the same size

man... I see 3 different types of centric rings all within 2mm on ebay. I can't believe all rims are the same size. I have Ace DC 103 or ACE Manta rims. i think I need to take an inside diameter measurement.

Tibby01: I ended up getting some of the ones you posted. I took measurements with a micrometer which was only accurate to .1MM. My measurements came to between Wheel ID = 73.1-73.2MM and Hub OD = 67.0-67.1MM. You were dang right about the wheels being that size. Thanks for the help. I really had no idea what I was looking for. Now I'm just waiting for my hub-centric rings to get here.

This is the reason I love you guys!

i was timid at first too, but they really do fit perfectly in just about all aftermarket wheels.

I just thought the wheels were bumpy because they were low profile at first. I can't wait until I get these hubcentric rings and see how smooth my car rolls again.

Now I need to work on rear suspension and rear motor mount.
