He used a stud kit and spacers and only used it on the track so he didnt bother with spigot rings.[/QUOTE]
Not sure on his set up but were the spacers hub centric? Surely you'd need to locate the centre bore on something or the wheel vibration would be horrendous.

Yes mate
Fine for the time being, bit harsh on certain roads but don't bother me
Not fitted them yet as decided to spend money on the 2118s and the RARB, should be easy enough though mate its only a few bolts for the rear mount and one iirc for the middle mount. My exhaust doesnt sound standard but looks like it. I've been told it might be a mild steel k-tec stealth system but im not really sure so if anyone can clarify? The rubbers on it at the mo are pretty perished so got the mounts of eBay ready to get fitted when i put on a new exhaust system which is prob not going to be untill end of next month now.
Ordered some Pagid front discs and pads and hopefully i'll have the speedlines on by the weekend
I used these on track numerous times with no spigot rings and never had a problem with 'horrendous' wheel vibration, the wheels were tightened to around 100nm and as said never had a problem.
Also I'm not sure why you'd need metal spigot rings over the standard plastic/poly style, all they do is seat the wheel on the hub nicely for you to fit it. There not exactly structural...
As said Mark give me a shout whenever about the wheels, we'll get it sorted for you without some of these other idiots with only half a clue... Should leave the silver too, will look lovely against the Mondial blue!
Cheers

If you're not locating on the spigot and relying on the nuts to locate the wheel, how could this not give vibration at +/- 1mm or so with the wheel turing at about 500rpm? Not wanting to start any issues with your sale to someone but I just can't see how you could accurately locate the wheel. The use of metal spigot rings is purely as mine started to melt due to the heat in the front hubs.
So by putting some past experience and logic in reply to hopefully assist someone I become an idiot with half a clue???
Well quite simply I used these wheels without and no problems, the fact your spigot rings melted means you bought cheap spigot rings simple.
Also I'm not interested in this 'how could this not give vibration at +/- 1mm or so with the wheel turing at about 500rpm?' rubbish... This forum is attracting too many of these type of people which pisses me off. 'Applying' logic and 'understanding/knowing' logic are too very different things.
Apologies Mark for the way this threads gone...

So what we are saying is spigot rings are not required on any wheel?
Applying and understanding/knowing logic are two very different things, yes.
Sorry for pissing you off, wouldn't want to do that now would I?
Apologies to Mark also. My final word on the subject and nice car!

Would be interested to see what this looks like. I like the idea of red wheels though. Pics please?
Only done 2 of them so far, other 2 will be done during this week at some point. Centre diamonds are going to be black
Pic on 2118s, with spigot rings fitted! they run spot on btw for everyone that said i would be wasting my time fitting them. No rubbing, vibrations, wobbles etc (Spigot rings were 70.1-60.1) Will be on the hunt for some r888s and put these bad bois away and bring them out for any trips to the ring next year, but untill then i will run round on my red turinis
