Metal rings inside the wheel
Last weekend I was swapping my oem wheels for track wheels and noticed that inside of the oem wheel center there is a metal ring that looks like the end of the hub (lip), but nothing is broken off. Any ideas?

Hub-centric ring?
Aftermarket wheels (most likely) aren't hub-centric to our cars so these rings make them fit snug to the hub. EDIT: just saw that they were inside your OEM wheels... I'm not sure then. |
