Ok guys,
This is a huge debate as some guys say they never run them and some say its essential. lol. but I have a scary experience with them before and I have not used them for awhile. But I just wanna hear you guys out. I got Vorsteiner wheels on and they are 70.6 center bore. Our mustang hub bore is 70.3 if I'm not wrong.
The last time I have hub centric rings installed, they are the plastic one and after I installed them that day, I went for a short canyon run. What happen was the plastic melted and expanded, pushing my wheels out and when I reach the top of the canton, 4 lug nuts were loose, when I said loose, like I can use my fingers to take them out. I could have died that day if one of the wheels came out, sending me down the canyon. I brought tools that day luckily, and jack the care up and tighten them.
But as I drive, I saw the wheels wobbling. I limp slowly down the canyon and when I reach the bottom, I removed all wheels and remove the rings which are melted and expanded by then. The wobble is gone and my wheels are tight.
Now, I'm wondering if I should get the aluminium one and install them for my upcoming HPDE event at buttonwillow. The car runs fine without it. Just want to get some opinion from you guys.
