anyone using DiscountTires metal hub rings?

Spoke with them and they have the right size and at $15 for a set of 4 seems like a steal..

nevermind,,now they are telling me that the dont have them yet they are still making them for the GTO. arghhh..

Shame, the ones i'm selling are due here any day... My rings are better anyhow, they are designed specificly to fit the GTO and only the GTO. They make theirs with a round about size that 'fits' but may or may not be exact.

Becides, buy stuff from them and you are supporting the devil! :gr_devil: Buy from me and you are supporting the goat! :angel:

Either way, I doubt they will make them in our size since it is the least common size (I'm wondering if ANY other cars use this size hub!?), they will likely make plastic ones before they make an oddball size in metal. To get them made that cheep, one would have to order several thousand pairs at a time which is uber goofy when you are talking about a size that only fits one car.

dont know about that,considering there will be 40,000 GTOs running around by the time they are done next year and a very high number will have aftermarket rims thats a rather large market. if only 1/4 GTOs go for rims and half of those use BMW style rims thats 20,000 rings. thats a whole lot of rings.. :D

I highly doubt 1/4 of the GTO population will be running aftermarket wheels. Even fewer of them will even consider hub rings since most people dont know the difference anyhow.

40,000 cars over a 3 year build is TINY in comparison to most cars. Hell, how many 05 Mustangs (GT and non-GT) are already built and on the road? At least twice or three times as many Mustang in just 05 already as their are 04 and 05 GTO's so far. The largest market for aftermarket wheels right now is Sport Compacts/Imports and Trucks/SUV's. Minus the few hundred people here with aftermarket wheels, their are not as many GTO's running around on rims as you would think.

On that note, I've had over 200 of them made which is just over 50 sets. They sell decent but i'm no wheel/tire dealer either. Needless to say, I almost have a sneaky suspision that someone there caught onto my idea and thought "damn we could do that" and did just that. Great, there goes the little income I make... :mad:

CSiJASON How Much Do You Sell A Set For ?

[CSiJason]

My sets are T6 billet aluminum and are now clear anodized. They are $85 a set which includes USPS Priority shipping. The price is expensive but I dont exactly get them made for uber cheep.

FYI: Discount Tire only sent me the plastic hubrings when I got my new whees from them the other month. They didn't fit as precisely as the metal ones I'm using from CSI, so I wouldn't expect DT's metal version to be any different than the plastics. Meaning: CSI's will most likely be a much better fitment, IMO. :cool:

They make their rings to fit as many vehicles as they can thus they arent a perfect fit. I designed mine to fit the hub within 0.1mm, so perfect of a fit that any rust on your hub will need to be lightly sanded off first. :D
