Yeah I don't think knocking BSA is appropriate... don't our cars need "hub centric spacers" or something crazy like that? Those can be bought off eBay as well.

And don't knock eBay, either... if the guy actually did you any injustice, you can sick the ebay lawyers on him.

Bingo. Most likely you need hubcentric rings to keep the wheel centered. They are cheap and I'd bet money thats your problem

Did you paid with a credit card?

Are the wheels or tires really damaged?

If so, then you might be able to get your money back, at least partially.

Shoot me an email

Best Wishes

I think the hub spacers would be a good idea (sorry thought you had them already). LOL

its not hub spacers you need, its hubcentric rings. They are available at tire rack, ebay, everywhere, should be easy to find and shouldnt cost more than $30-40

i called tirerack and tried ebay. The thing is with tirerack, they dont carry BSA wheels so they dont have the hub ring for me. Ebay, i tried didnt c anything. Theres a place in town called east coast rides. They said theyll help me out so well c what happeneds. First i gotta get my car fixed so it doesnt ride so loud.

I am pretty sure most any hubcentric ring will fit, most wheels are the same size. I didnt even measure mine, I just assumed they were the right size, threw em an and bingo, no more wobbling. GL

I do think they are pretty generic too. We bought my mates and they fit straight on.
