ok... i just put my stock 15s back on... the same ones that came with my car that i used for 6 months... before getting my aftermarket rims
afterwards, i went to the gas station... the second i started going out of my garage i noticed it made a sound that sounded either like the tires were rubbing or the tires were flat or a bag was caught onto the tires or something... i'm almost positive it didn't used to make this sound before so i checked the tire pressure @ the station and it was fine... drove around gas station and it had that sound the sound only happens @ low speeds...drove home and while going into my garage.. still had that sound... my aftermarket rims before had hubcentric rings... but those are attached to the actual rim right? they wouldn't get stuck on the hub right? if it was rubbing brakes/suspension/fenders it would still make that sound even at higher speeds right? i can't seem to figure out what else is causing it to make this sound...

Hub centric rings are attached to the outer hub and they help center the wheel. They typically aren't needed for tapered/acorn lugs, but hey. Stock wheels typically are bored perfectly to sit flush on the hub... so leaving one on could screw up the offset and/or cause the wheel to not sit flush. Take off your wheels and check em out! -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl... I'm an artist!"
