Wheel Rings
Sorry, I posted this in the wrong section earlier. I hope this is the correct category.
I have a set of 15 inch Peugeot wheels that I would like to use. However the register on the Ford hubs is 63.4mm and the bore of the wheels 65.1mm.
WhatI am looking for is a set of wheel rings so that the wheels will centre properly.
Does anyone know of a supplier of wheel rings for this combination? Any help would be gratefully accepted. Thank you.
John

Try and visit your local alloy wheel specialist. They stock a whole range of spigot rings and will probably sell you a set for a few beer vouchers.

The wheel stockists have spiggot rings to convert the aftermarket alloys to the manufacturer sizes. The aftermarket alloys have massive centre bores
(e.g. 75mm) so the spiggots can be quite thick.
I havent seen any that will convert 65.1 to 63.4, as these would have to be only 0.85mm thick.
I have considered getting some 65mm 20g tube and sweatting onto a ford hub, I cannot see why this would not work.
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

Just fit them!
Mine have been on for a couple of years with no problems.
IMHO a light car like a Locost (or Phoenix) Won't suffer from all the weight being taken by the studs. It's not the engineering solution,
but in practical terms - it works.
