[DeTomaso] Wheel hub centric rings

Was that on the Pantera or on the Scirocco? Cars with studs should be less
sensitive than cars with wheel screws.

leave them out completely.  >>>Agreed.  They either need to fit perfectly,

hub-centering rings which fixed it completely. Any good speciality
tire/wheel store will have a vast assortment of these centering rings in
stock, and will be able to hook you up.  Just drive the car down there and
let them open up their cabinet and find what works best for your
application.... Mike
