DIY: Wheel spacer vibration fix
see, this is the type of stuff that pisses me off. Tirecraft is supposed to be a reputable shop. They ignored the rings in the box and failed to install them with the wheels. I almost blew 130$ today for a roadforce balance thinking that was the problem.
Thanks guys and thank God for this site!, I will remove the wheels tn, put the rings on and re-install, then go for a spin on the highway

Just wanted to report that I put on my M45 rims and there is no vibration at all! I thought I might have to replace the copper wire after every change but they are still doing their job by pushing the inner ring of the Ichiba V2 out about a mm, so I left them.
speaking of flush, if ones rims are very flush, does this mean more dirt and debris goes up the side of ones car which could result in increased chipping and damaging of the body paint? (which will result in rust... :S).
I found some. I actually just went back to Home Depot and got 10-2 (3 insulated 10 guage wires in 1). Then I just stripped what I needed. I wasted so much time trying to find it that I didn't have time to iinstall it tonight. So tomorrow I will give this a try.
Thank god i found this thread. I was just telling myself that i need to find a solution to the vibration. I just purchased the ichiba v2 and i was wondering why i had a vibration. I will do this DIY asap but i just want to ask a stupid question.. How do i make this crush ring? Do i just go to say, a home depot and buy the Copper ring? Im horrible with these kinds of things so bare with me if you will. How do i fit it to the hub bore size. Im an idiot i know, but at least im honest lol. Thanks in advance.
