Aluminum's the only way to go, in my book. Put a little antisieze on there and carefully mount them and you'll be fine.

Alright. I'm looking to buy some plastic hub centric rings for the e39 wheels. I know the plastic ones don't last as long, but I don't want the metal ones because they "band" themselves to the inner rim. (I think this may have already happened because I have had the crappy ones on since September and still get the shimmy.) Anyone have any ideas on where to get them from??

i got the metal ones from tirerack and just greased em up nice

not even a real ques =]Originally Posted by E34 530
well since I have to remove them for winter tires I dont want to sit there and spend 10 minutes a wheel trying to get them off. Even nicer changing to the spare on a cold rainy night.
theres usually always a method to my madness

i have the plastic rings on mine, im not sure if it could happen, but after having some 'fun' on a country road (hard acceleration and hard braking) i think i cooked my plastic hubcentric rings a little cause i had some vibrations back for a while, they have calmed down in time, but i still keep thinking i might have been better buying the aluminum ones??
its one of those questions i think, no matter which type you choose you will keep considering the other type!!!!!
