[Supras] Hubcentrics??

[Walker, Brian (Rich. Dist)]

My wheels didn't come with them (One set of fronts does, none of the
others)
Do they have them made to fit the wheel and the hub of the car or do
places stock sizes that are close? If I measure the ID of the wheel
bores and the OD of the hub, are there places that sell them? I always
figured those were only to help mount the wheels and align the lugs to
the bolt holes. Now that I think deeper into it, seems they would
provide strength as well.

Does everyone but me use these?
Brian

You need new hubcentric rings?

Should be able to order those at a shop that sells wheels & tires.
