Hey all,

I received my Volk CE28 Time attack wheels, and the vendor included plastic hub centric rings.

Do i need to install them? I would rather not, but i will if i have to, i dont want my car to vibrate/shake at high speeds.

Volk owners, please reply.



Thanks in advance

I will be posting pics soon

According to A-spec hubcentric rings aren't needed. I installed mine without rings and they are riding fine.

it just help the wheel to center to the hub, if it comes with it, you might as well use them.

If you have them - use them

If not - just make sure they're torqued properly. Though they're not hub-centric, they are stud-centric.

I went to install mine at the track on Friday, but the Centering Ring's ID was too small I did not use them - just being cautious on the track

It is always a good idea to use aluminum hub rings. They cost about $15 from Discount Tire Direct + about $5 shipping, help center your wheel so you don't have to wonder if it's centered when your steering wheel is shaking, and put the weight of the wheel on the hub where it is supposed to be. Did I mention they are cheap? Never use the plastic ones that come with some sets of wheels. Plastic does not transfer the weight from the wheel to the hub like the aluminum does. They just help you center, and they aren't the best at that. Plus they melt when you've been braking hard.

hub rings = VERY cheap insurance.
