Tech Info - Encyclopedia - Spigot Rings

I get frequently asked for Spigot rings to fit a wheel so and so. Maybe the rings got lost or the wheel shall be fitted to a new vehicle.

I would like to help and sell these rings to you. I allready have a constantly increasing selection of spigot rings on the shelf. But with the endles variety of I will never have them all! Please ask for the lead time of the required spigot ring.

In order to supply the correct spigot ring I need some simple messurements from you. Please check your wheels and car for the messurements as per the drawing.

Please mail your requirements to kiki@felgenfuchs.de. I will check and let you know whether and when I can supply the required rings.

Now some aswers to frequently asked questions:

• Wheels need to be alligned to match their center to the turning center of the axle. Otherwise the wheel ist running excentric when turning.
• There are cars (Mini Cooper) without center location. They locate their wheels just by the bolts.
• Modern cars have a machined wheel flange providing a center location for the wheel.
• The tolerance for the center location is 0,06 to 0,1mm. Giving the axle is for example 57,0 mm the wheel shall be 57,06 to 57,1mm.
• The spigot ring is just an aid helping to fix the wheel concentric to the axle. Once the tightened bolts are securing the wheel into place the spigot ring is a useless passenger inside the wheel.

The spigot ring must be flush with the naive face of the wheel. If you have the problem as shown in the picture the you cannot get an acceptable runout. Even worse your lugnuts may come loose!
