Centre bore question

[brad]

its not a point of buying or making the rings, otherwise id just do it as i did my bbs.
its a problem that ill be going from a 56centre bore to 57.1 (1.1mm difference), thats .5mm space all the way around. imagine making that? so was really wondering if .5mm all the way around will matter?

Easy enough to make. Plastic would be easily enough moulded if you wanted to make lots.

If I was doing them in metal I'd probably use 0.5mm sheet, cut a strip, roll it & braze or silver solder the butt joint & file it smooth & slide it over the hub as a firm press fit. You could machine it on a lathe as well but forming from strip would be achievable at home in the garage and the material would be cheaper.

The other thing you could do is just suck it & see. If it feels good then go no further. My Golf only had 2 hub rings & was fine all the way to $160

ooo, sheet metal idea! thinking outside the box (or maybe im just not thinking straight atm)

I have a lathe at home in my garage actually so either method is no probs haha

Now to find some wheels both her and I approve of! I'll see how i go and post up results.
