Spriggot rings - What size ones do i need?

Post by Shezer »

Ok. So the other day i brought some used 15 inch rims with 195/50/15 tyres. The guy in the shop was saying to me that i mite need to get spriggot or sprigget? :s rings to make them fit better. But they seemed like they were fitting ok "after he held them in position to put them on".

so i got home and i fitted the alloys with my friend, but driving a few hours ago felt like there was a very slight bumping feel, so i think it would be safe for me to get some sprigget/spriggot rings.


So First of all, what sized spriggot/sprigget rings do i need?

Secondly, does anyone know where i can go get them? because ive been looking on the internet and there is very few things about them.


Thanks

It's actually spiggot rings. There's no R in it. :lol:

And I don't know what size you need, however the slight bumping is possibly due to them needing balancing.

Don't know what size you need but you need them.
The spigot is the bit of your wheel that snugly fits to the hub. Its this snug fit that takes all the weight if this isn't snug then all the weight will be on the bolts and they will eventuly bend/snap

Ah ok, i'll take my rims off today anyway because im going to refurbish them. I'll just mesure the inside so i can find out what size i need.
