Hubcentric Ring Set (4)
Up for auction is a set of 4 composite plastic hubcentric rings that will fit any 5-lug BMW made in the late 70's through at least the early 2000's. These hubcentric rings have an outside diameter of 74.1mm and an inside diameter of 72.56mm. The leading edge is tapered.
Why install hubcentric rings? It is best to install a wheel with a center bore (the hole in the middle) diameter that is the same as the hub diameter of the car. A tightly fitting hub/wheel interface will lessen the chance of annoying wheel vibrations. All the BMWs mentioned above have a hub diameter of 72.56mm. The OEM wheels installed on those cars had a matching center bore so the wheels were centered on the hubs perfectly. This provides a nice smooth ride that sells cars.
The problem is that some BMW enthusiasts want to install larger and newer wheels on their older cars. Many of the newer OEM wheels (from E38 and E39 cars) have a center bore diameter of 74.1mm. When installed on a car with a hub diameter of 72.56mm, the wheel may not be centered about the hub and there will be a chance of a wheel vibration at speed. The solution is the fill the gap between the two different diameters with a hubcentric ring.
Are these rings durable? These are high strength composite plastic that won't fuse to the hub or wheel as do alloy rings. When installed they will last for long time. Loose, they are somewhat fragile, so please use care when handling them.
What is included? Included are 4 hubcentric rings, one for each hub.
How do I install them? Installation is very simple. Just clean up the hubs, slide the rings on, and then install your "new" wheels. I recommend applying a dab of antiseize lube so prevent the wheel from adhering to the ring or hub itself.

2014 Volvo S80 grabs IIHS Top Safety Pick Plus+
Thu, 19 Dec 2013The second-generation Volvo S80 has been with us since 2008, and just a year before its scheduled replacement with an all-new model it has managed to grab a Top Safety Pick+ rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). The S80 now joins its XC90, XC60, and S60 siblings in receiving this accolade, which was instituted just last year when the IIHS created a new type of crash test called the small overlap test. The small overlap test is designed to recreate a rather typical road accident scenario, one which hadn't been added to the roster of crash tests by most vehicle organizations.
