    Default Centering Rings on Ebay

    Somebody was having a hard time finding centering rings for E39 wheels on an E34. Saw this today.

    Yeah, what bahnstormer said.

    I just bought them from Tirerack last week for 3 bucks a pop.

    Just posting as an FYI guys.

    They did seem expensive but somebody in a previous post was looking for them and couldn't find them at Tire Rack.

    To be honest...I've never seen a link to find them on their web site...but if you call the toll free number and talk to a customer service rep...they will know exactly what you're talking about. Sometimes the virtual world is like the real world in that you may have to yank on a sales clerk's jacket and ask the location of a product you are having difficulty finding.

    Many local tire/wheel shops will likely have them or be able to get them. That one guy who sells them on eBay is a genius - he sells almost every set he lists, and he plays around with different prices (a while ago, there was a $20 variation in price among the ~10 different listings he had for the EXACT SAME ITEM - all buy-it-now).

    My local Discount Tire just handed me a set when I asked if they had any - I offered to pay, the guy just said "nah - not even worth printing an invoice for".
