Whats a reputable company to buy these from? I have wheels that are 74.1mm hub bore and I know our cars are 67mm. So 74.1mm-67mm

I looked at 1010tires and they only offer 74mm-67.1mm

that should work... the pont 1 is so that it will slide in without binding...

unless i am wrong. (fairly sure I am right).

Like P71 said. The extra 100 microns are there to allow a slip fit. That 50 microns per side. Or a little less than .004" over all.

Can you confirm that hub size? Others have it listed at 69.5

The 69.5 is the GTO hub size. Ours is 67. Metal rings are best, but if size is slightly off, the plastic work fine. You can find them on ebay for around $10. shipped. I am using them on both G8's and have no issues to 100 mph.

I prefer the poly rings due to the fact they don't seize

I agree!

I have a set of billet hubrings for my GTO wheels (BMW - GTO). First, after 2 years, they bonded to hub. Took almost an hour to remove all 4 with minimal damage. Then I popped them back into wheels. When I went to remove them so I could install wheels on G8, I had similar issues. Besides, they were like $75.
