Volk Wheels Question

TSM330i · 11-07-2011, 12:13 PM

My wife is getting a 2012 X3 and she'd like to get larger wheels (stock are only 17").
I've been looking at quite a few different wheels and really like the Volk Homura (19x8.5 square).

Are these wheels hubcentric?
If they are not, which I don't think they are, are there issues using hubcentric rings?

I don't want to worry about a vibration coming from the wheels because they're not centered correctly.

Shouldn't be an issue with the proper hubcentric rings if they are necessary. Eliminating vibration through proper centering is their function. I have a set of BBS coming that requires rings on the fronts, and I'm not concerned.

I know what they are used for, thank you.

Who are currently running hubcentric rings with their wheels?

Are you having issues?

I've done a search and have seen some members with issues. I definitely see quite a few members running Volk/Rays wheels. Are you getting any vibrations?

I have a great deal in the works for a set of wheels, but don't want to make the wrong decision. I know Volk is a great quality wheel and that's why I'm considering them. I have Advan RS on my car and run Enkei RPF1 for my R-comps. Both of these wheels are hubcentric so I don't have to worry about the rings.

Thanks.

They are not hub centric as the centerbore are 75. But they are packed with plastic hubcentric rings which will make it hubcentric. I've sold and installed plenty of Volks and Rays wheels with hubcentric rings and vibration issues shouldn't come up as we Roadforce balance the wheels and tires.

Also a stud conversion will help too, just some food for thought
