Ive searched for them for my wheels (Exel Daytonas) and have found that JustForWheels is the only place that I can find them. I dont really feel like paying $40 for them. Has anyone found anywhere else that sells these things?
Hubcentric Rings - 6G Celicas Forums
try a junkyard or auto-part.com
I couldnt find anything on auto-part.com and im sure the chance of me finding another 6gc with exels with hubcentric rings in a junkyard is pretty rare lol
You won't find hub centric rings at a junk yard.

you need to go get them from just for wheels. thats where i had to get mine from. u cant just buy rings from anywhere. they need to be made specific for your rims.

The ones that I posted are made out of aluminum. They are light and won't break. Something you can't say about those composite jobs.

there is one problem with them. you have to make sure that tires direct can get u the correct size rings for your new rims. they seem to offer all the sizes for the rims they sell, but im not sure if they will have the right size for excel rims (a brand they dont carry).

you only need them if u have aftermarket rims, and notice some vibration through your steering wheel on the highway. the rings make sure that you wheels are mounted perfectly center.

Does anybody know the size of the centerbore of an Exel wheel? Do you think each wheel style has a different centerbore or are they all pretty much the same?
the toyota hubs are 54.1 mm. You will need to call wheelsnext or whoever makes excel rims to find out the size of the hub opening. If I were a betting man, I would guess 60.1mm (just a guess though).

if there is vibration, will any damage be done? or can i be fine w/out hub rings?

it wont damage anything, but your car will feel unstable at higher speeds.

I heard there could also be some premature or uneven tire wear.

Got the rings in yesterday. I ended up getting them off of Ebay and they fit perfectly Im about to take a test drive to see if they correct the vibration.
how much did you spend on ebay?
$15, and they work REALLY well, there is almost no vibration at all (aside from bumps in the road etc.) But it makes a world of difference, definitley worth the money.

Hell yea. Its great having hub rings for wheels.

You didnt get hubcentric rings when you bought your wheels??..did you buy em new? or used?? 95% of the places i know will include em if the wheels are new. When i worked at a tire place, we always through em in/installed em on the wheels

I bought mine brand new from wheelmax.. but it was a few years ago so they didnt include them then.

^ yeah mine are from wheel max, they dont include em but they do give you a peace or paper in one of the boxes that says were you can buy a set, (or atleast mine came with that flyer.) but I used mine from my old wheels, diff brand and size but a perfect fit for both 
which is better, the metal or poly ones?
I have ploy, they work fine.
