took my wheel to get a new tyre today as it had a big screw going through it and when i got it home and went to put it on i noticed there was no spigot ring, i adjusted the coilover anyway and put the wheel on and when i did the opposite side i noticed that didnt have a spigot ring either.......
was wondering, how damgerous is it to drive around without them on and also where could i get them from?

not dangerous at all mate, the spigot rings just make sure the wheel sits correctly on the hub, you might expeircence wheel wobble past 50mph

well i done it.... i got some spigot rings made out if stainless steel......... hopefully i'll try them and they'll fit perfectly. if not i'll give them back to get a little shaving of for it to fit.
got some pics. the metal ones dont have the little tabs sticking out as he couldnt do them and also the small lip that goes all around doesnt have the champfer on it but hopefully it'll be ok and they'll fit nicely.
if these fit nicely i could probably get some made for people if n e one wanted some? i could get u a price if n e one is interested....... i'll see how they fit first tho befor n e thing goes ahead with it......
hopefully i'll try them saturday......
