I had my tires road forced balanced, the machine applies force to the tire so they can mount the tire on the wheel so it doesn't shake as much. here is the link to the maker of the machine maybe you can find somebody in your area with this type of machine http://www.hunter.com/pub/product/product.htm

Green 2k did you try NTB or Merchant's locally. You should be able to get the store where you got the wheels to order them for you. I had a set of wheels from Pep Boys and they ordered the rings for me.

Sorry, I was outta town for the last 4 days.

The things they gave you are SPACERS, not Hubcentric adapters. Go to the www.tires.com website. Get their 1-800 number.

Tell them the Manufacturer, Style and size wheel you purchased, and the year/make/model of your car, they will sell you hubcentric Adapters. They WILL fix the problem.

ok well im one step ahead of ya pal wink.gif
i went ahead and called em outta courosity and they told me they didnt know the 2000 hyundai accent hub diameter, just the 1999 and back......so I proceeded to go to a local sears auto center and they have ordered me rings (now i dont if they realize that the 2000 and the 1999 and down may/are different but i CAN get a refund if its not the right rings.......
o and one more thing, i called gorilla automotive and they said that they would need to know my hub diameter, and that they did not have a ring that fits the centerbore of my rim (my rims centerbore being 66mm) i dont see how they dont have a application that "would" fit, anymore suggestions man......im really stumped!

Go wit the sears adapters, if that doesn't work, try the units for the 99 from tires.com.

Or...stop by a local shop and ask them to check the diameter of your hubs with a set of measureing calipers.
