Discussion and technical advice the SW20 MR2. 3S-GTE, 3S-GE, 3S-FE etc
Anything and everything to do with maintenance, modifications and electrical is in here for the Mk2.
I occasionally have to replace the plastic spigot rings on my wheels because they've become deformed, presumably because of clumsy mechanics who don't take care lining up the wheel with the hub. Does anyone know where I could get a set of metal rings, either off the shelf or custom made?
So far I've emailed Wheels UK and Performance Alloys but they can't help.
Yeah eBay was my first thought too but they were all either plastic or not available in the right size. I need an outside diameter of 79.5mm which seems to be pretty rare.
I was hunting for them not so long ago but gave up when I found some different wheels instead - I'm sure I googled to a site that had a huge range though, it was one of the big online wheel suppliers... let me have another look...
Hi Chris,
Glad to hear you've got it sorted. Let me know how good they are, I might be tempted to get some for my alloys when the MR2 comes out of hibenation
Woohoo I've got my own custom made metal spigot rings!
They were slightly too tight to get on the hub at first but Adam re-machined them free of charge and they're now a perfect fit. The quality is excellent.
Take one of your wheels off and measure the diameter of the centre mounting hole. It needs to be accurate to about 0.1mm so you'll need a calliper.
That gives you the outside diameter of the spigot ring. The inside diameter needs to be 60.1mm for the Mk2.
