I have a small problem.
I have a new rim with a hub bore of 70.8mm. Of course my stock SC hubs are 63.9mm or thereabouts.
I have a set of 72.6mm to 63.9mm hubcentric rings from a previous set of 17" wheels that I had. They of course are just a smidge too big to fit into the new Cobra rims that I have.
I have looked high and low for a set of proper hubcentric rings and I've been in correspondance with a couple of different people.
Basically the 70.8mm outer diameter doesn't exist as a common size. I would either have to try and get my exisiting rings (or a new set of custom) machined.
The closest I've been able to find is a set of 70mm to 63.9mm. The company that is willing to machine the outer diameter of my rings cannot garuntee exact measurments due to "triangulating a small part on the lathe".
So my question is this, should I take my chances to get my exisiting set of rings properly machined to 70.8mm or at least very close, or would I be OK with a set of rings that are 70mm?
What is your guys advice and opinions?
