had just purchased some wheels for my car (Rial Daytona Race) but did not have rings on them so i got the shakes. anybody knows where i can get a set? i think i need the 76mmID-74.1mmOD. any help would be great!

you should probably contact the vendor you bought the wheels from... they should have provided you with hub-centric rings free of charge with the purchase of the rims... good luck!

74.1mm is what you need. You can contact, I think his name is Luke, at Tire Rack for them. They used to carry that wheel at one point so he should familiar with what's needed. Good Luck and post pics.

thanks guys. bought this used so no vendor involved. the seller told me the rings he had was beaten up but he said he'll send it anyways. i guess i'll try calling them tomorrow to get a set. i'll post pics as soon as the weather here gets sunnier. thanks!

congrats with the stunning wheels man..

welcome in the rial club. take good care off them. they dont make these anymore new,so they will be hard to get in some years.

i ordered a set in germany from the factory itself.. you need the blue plastic rings, those are for the e39. cost like 50$ for 4 or something.
and iff you order some, take 2 sets.like the seller said , they can look pretty worn after a while , so better have a extra pair laying around then to have too order them again and pay dubble in port costs..

I agree, vendor is the best source; otherwise, any machine shop should be able to do it. I had it done years ago to fit MB wheels on an Audi.

BTW, how can the ID be bigger than the OD?? I assume the wheel you bought has a 76mm hub diameter which needs to be shrunk to 74.1 to fit the BMW.

yeah...i had the figures switched around. 76mm OD 74.1ID. i got a set from tirerack. called them up and spoke to Jim and told him i got referred to him via m5board. very cool guy. straight forward and easy to deal with. all i did was call him, got transferred to Jim and left a voicemail with wheel details. a few mins later, he called back and told me he'll be sending it to me the same day for $20 shipped!! very recommendable person! no more shakes!! now a have a hubcentric setup. cant take pics yet since its raining a lot here in socal...soon enough...thanks guys!!
