Exclamation Hubcentric Rings for Work Emotions!!

Hey guys, I just bought a set of Work Emotions, 18x8.5 front, 18x9.5 rear, +20 offset, and before installing them on my car, I want to get a set of hubcentric rings. I know our car's hub outer diameter is 66.1 mm, but does anybody know the inner bore size of the Emotions? I need to know both values so I can go buy the set of rings from a Tire shop. So basically, if any of you Emotions owners out there can help me, it would be great! I've searched all over and I just simply couldn't find the answer without directly asking. Thanks guys.

-Sno

I just bought and installed my Work wheels. I was given the rings in the deal. You can ask Adam over on the My350z board. He might have a set. He's from Z1 performance in NY. Hope it helps.

I asked Adam (Z1 Performance) over at My350z.com what the hubcentric ring size was, and this was his reply over PM:

"And considering your post stated you already bought the wheels why not ask the shop you got them from to supply them for you

This is why we include them...we don't believe in customers having to do guess work after the sale; we make sure they are well educated before the sale, and set them up with everything they need, the first time."

[In response to asking what size the hubcentric rings are]

"....the proper size. I was the first person to have these wheels on a Z in the US, and am the reason so many people have gone to them. Believe me, I know the size they need to be "

I was quite shocked at his helpfulness, awesome way to treat future customers and set an example of sponsor/vendor hospitality.

No, he didn't tell me. He just told me to ask the person who I bought my wheels from. He said he knew, but won't tell me. Pretty hospitable, right?

In any case, I found out the hubring size for the 18" Emotions, and it's 73.30 if anyone needs to know. I found out by just looking inside the wheel on the little sticker. I looked before but couldn't find it. But upon closer examination, there it was. Hope I can be of some help to others unlike Z1 Performance.

Why didn't you get them when you ordered your wheels? Most people get them when they order their wheels. Wow I'm really glad you bought the first wheels in the US, otherwise they would have never come here. Your the greatest! Maybe I'll name a child after you or something.

BTW I spoke to Adam and he tells me you were being sneaky pretending to want to buy his wheels and asking for the size of the rings. An odd question. I don't blame him for not telling you. If you'd been up front with him, I have no doubt he would have helped you out. Lesson learned I hope! Oh yeah ............... SnoDog............. don't eat the yellow snow.
