dazzyvr6 0 Posted October 11, 2005 just a quick mention on spiggot rings,when i bought my wheels i lost one,only found out when i took them to demon tweeks to get them fitted,and they said they would put it on the back as it wont matter...been the same for 2 years with no effects what so ever Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GIXXERUK 0 Posted October 11, 2005 rear ? no thats the grooved axial bearing that the front mount swivels on the top mount is the donut of rubber ;-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billinjah 0 Posted October 11, 2005 if you have no spigot rings this will always cause wobble/vagueness had it loads of times when i have gone without them! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil K 0 Posted October 12, 2005 Def a Grey area :lol: Thats 2 for spigot rings and 2 against... :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GIXXERUK 0 Posted October 12, 2005 Phil K, you know bill and i are right , fold damn you ;-) if your wheel is a gnats handbag of center it will have a wobbly effect :-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil K 0 Posted October 12, 2005 yeah but no but yeah but no cos if the wheel is held on by 4 bolts they they are designed to hold it in the exact place to make it line up right init... spigots are only to help you guide the wheel on to the hub and make the lining up that bit easier! :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GIXXERUK 0 Posted October 12, 2005 i know what you're saying and in theory they should'nt have an affect but they do , maybe be more so on certain wheel designs (hub fitment?) , the ones i had a problem with were khan rsr's , mmm khan :-) certainly a grey area but if its known to happen and its free , its worth a check the obvious one with the spiggot rings is the yts lad- spotty wayne balances your wheel and leaves the spiggot ring on the machine :-) i'll have to log in under a different name and make this 3 -2 ;-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil K 0 Posted October 12, 2005 i'll have to log in under a different name and make this 3 -2 ;-) PMSL With out a spigot ring lining up the wheel will be much harder and there is a chance that you could bolt the wheel on off centre... so yeah they will make a difference - however the bottom line is with out one you can still put the wheel on straight if you're careful so they don't make a difference... We're now arguing practically the same point so lets call it a draw :lol: (and I’ve got to go to work now lol) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GIXXERUK 0 Posted October 12, 2005 agree to disagree, agreed ;-) dont come to me when you have wobbly wheels or knobbly knees ;-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
corradophil 3 Posted October 12, 2005 Def a Grey area Thats 2 for spigot rings and 2 against... :lol: Make that 2 for spigot rings and 3 against. The spiggot rings on mine are only plastic, which centralise the wheel on the hub when you fit it. The holes in aftermarket wheels and their bolts have matching tapers, so as soon as you tighten the bolts up they will locate the wheel. If the spiggot rings were designed as a load bearing lacator, they wouldn't be plastic mouldings. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

monVR6 0 Posted October 12, 2005 Could differing wheel bolts have an effect on this. I've been told my wheel bolts aren't all the same - I also have the odd vague steering episode! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
corradophil 3 Posted October 12, 2005 Could differing wheel bolts have an effect on this. I've been told my wheel bolts aren't all the same - I also have the odd vague steering episode! Hmmm possibly. It is very important that the bolt matches the wheel. If you compare the heads of the bolts where they seat on the wheel the standard VW bolts the have a radiused section, whereas aftermarket ones have a straight tapered section. Years ago a mate had unmatched bolts/wheels, eventually one of his wheels wobbled loose, which caused massive vibration ending in the wheel coming off as he was driving.
