What are Spigot Rings?

Spigot rings are used to centre the alloy wheel correctly and safely on the hub of your car. If you have not installed spigot rings or have installed the wrong type of spigot rings your wheels will not be located 100% correctly on your car hub which will result in a vibration in your wheels when driving. This can easily be felt through the steering wheel.

Spigot Ring Types

There are three main types of spigot rings, A: Polymer push in spigot rings B: Aluminium push in spigot rings C: Aluminium spigot rings with a retaining spring to hold them in place such as OZ Racing & BBS spigot rings. All are manufactured for specific alloy wheels and designed to fit 100% correctly to the alloy wheel and hub of you car.

How to Fit Spigot Rings

To fit spigot rings you simply need to ensure the hole in the back of the alloy wheel is clean and does not already have a spigot ring inserted. Please see picture below:

Once you have checked that the hole for the spigot ring is clean you need to insert the spigot ring in to the hole in the back of the alloy wheel to ensure that it fits securely and is flush with the mounting face of the alloy wheel.

It is important to check that the spigot ring is flush with the mounting face of the alloy wheel; if this is not flush it can result in incorrect fitting of the wheel and not be safe for use.

Please note on some spigot rings there is a tapered edge which needs to face toward the hub of your car as this helps to guide the alloy wheel in to the correct position when mounting the alloy wheels to your hub.
