I am wanting to buy some rims off a mate but my current hub centric rings are too big and the manufacturer doesn't reply to emails. They wouldn't be hard to make. The bit on the hub measures 66mm and the rim measures 70mm. I'm guessing thats something like ID 66.1mm OD 69.9mm. That or somewhere to buy them in the right size. Have only found limited sizes on ebay.

Thanks.

if you want metal (aluminium or steel) and they're not available on fleabay you can try some wheel and tyre places, or go to an engineering or machining place and ask them to spin up a set on the lathe to your tollerances.

I took an R32 GT-R wheel in to a Fyshwick engineering place and they made up 20 hub centric rings (five sets for myself and other MR2 owners) to fit GTR wheels to Toyota MR2 hubs (60.1 to 66.1). The rings are the right size and fit well but they made them out of the easiest material (steel) instead of aluminium as requested, be sure to be specific about materials and if you can, leave a wheel with them for the duration. cost was 11 per ring inc. GST so $44 for the set plus a bit of time and efforts priming the steel to prevent rust.

PM for details of workshop - not that i recommend them too highly after they changed materials without consent.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
