If this was directed at me, then nope (as my lib came with the gravels from the previois owner 8) )

More directed at ferret89

But im not sure if you hub centric rings with rota's. if you do, that might be part of the problem?

So are hub centric rings dependent on the wheel type, or are they one size based on liberty specs?

I might contact rota and see what they say.

I've been reading up on this and as you suggested it appears the rotas don't need them as they're already hub centric?

Damn it I was hoping this excess noise was because of this haha.

Back to the drawing board. :(

Not all rims need hub centric rings... depends on the size of the hub centre. They basically keep the wheel perfectly snug centered to the axle/hub to prevent it becoming off balance. My car came with aftermarket rims which had rings but I swapped back to OEM (CS9) which don't need them.

These will do the job nicely

I can recommend getting somewhere really good to take care of your setup, based on my very positive experience at Truetrack (today) :good:

Anywhere that takes considerable pride in their work and achievements :-)
The extra price is totally worthwhile :-)
