First off hello all Im stu and new to the site (which looks great!)
Got a '90 325 touring with bit of a problem

Ive got a wheel wobble above about 30 mph

Ive got 17" alpina reps that I know are not buckled and have not long ago
been balanced

Im told I need 'spigot rings' ??
How much are they? what size will I need? and where can I get some??

Please help!

Wheels UK 02476 342999

Give them a bell and tell them what wheels you have and what car they are on and they will post you a set out for about £20.

The sizes I got for my BK171's were 73.1-->57.1

Putting these on solved the wheel wobble on my car when I had it

Thanks,
I think mine are also BK171's, Well 3 of them!! Cant seem to find any markings on them though??

Seems 3 of them need these spigots and 1 is ok??
do the spigots come as a set of 4?

ususally in sets of 4 but they probably have boxes full of them so no harm in asking for 3, but for the price you are probably best doing the lot at once so everything is equal, the one that's on there may not even be correct
