Well, it turns out that I was sold the wrong hub rings ... the ones I got
have an OD of 73 millimeters and I need 74.1 millimeters. The wonderful folks
at Panther Custom Wheels are sending me the correct rings free (except
shipping) even though I bought the tires and wheels used from some 3rd party
tire shop on consignment. They gave me a little hint since they feel cars
like ours that use bolts are tougher to get right on. Scott at Panther
suggested wrapping the rings a few times with Teflon tape to make sure they
seat snugly. Thanks to all that responded to my past ravings and
rants...will let you know how they feel when they get on with the right rings.
