Where to buy hubcentric rings and "ET" style lug nuts

My iForged front wheels need hubcentric rings but I've checked a few places and they don't sell them (Globe, Stokes, Pep Boys even), plus I need special "ET" style lugs that are very tapered as the spacers take up too many threads on the hub.

Any ideas locally where I can get this ish? Heard Wheel Warehouse may have the rings but Anaheim is a 100 mile round-trip for me and I'd like to avoid that if possible..

If you can give me the specific size of your bore on your wheel, I can get a custom one made for ya.

The set of wheels didn't come with hub rings? I would probably just call up Iforged and see if they can help.

Aren't Iforged wheels custom to the car? I would think that they dont require hub rings at all.

Long story.......I'm the 2nd owner of these although they've never seen the road, rings were supposed to be in the boxes but they're missing...

Yup, just talked to iForged and ordered them myself...

Now I just need some lugs that have thin walls and widths so I can get enough threads on the front wheels..

Iforged doesnt make them custom bore unless you pay extra for it. They usually just supply the hubrings.

Try a local rim/tire shop, they either have them or can order them for you.

Or go here.

Instead of looking for ET lugs, why not just buy longer studs?

Contemplating just getting the Ichiba hubcentric spacers w/ the longer studs.......seems easier?

definitely get the ichiba v2 hubcentric spacers. i would NOT recommend skimping on stud threads to try and fit wheels. i ordered 15mm spacers with built-in studs through 1 of the g35 vendors - charles @ b2autodesigns and he had them at my door in less than 2 days.

You cannot use hubcenter rings with regular spacers...the spacer does not have a hub on it, it is completely flat...You need to buy hubcentric spacers with longer studs. If you need the ET lugs and regular spacers I have them at my shop....25 for the lugs 5$ per spacer +tax and shipping.

Lou @ Amplified is coming through with special lugs from Macking that will solve everything, no hubcentric spacers needed...

still dont understand why you need special lugs if the wheel offsets are designed properly...
