Well, a less **eccentric** person wouldn’t realize that their rims were not **concentrically** mounted in the first place. I do not believe being **eccentric** is necessarily bad. ---

to all the NYSPEED engineers :carnut for those who can think and are not engineers :tup: to the real engineers, congratulations on doing something successful after all I don’t know, I guess people could just READ or something before they act like they know what is going on at all. A really good teacher once told me “don’t attack, just ask” you’ll find you learn more that way, and look like much less of a jackass in the process. ---

This is definitly not something I would do as a DIY. Interesting theory though. ---

If you know it’s conentric, then you’re okay…but ecentric is bad. > > this is just mechanical madness…i can’t take it. LOL ya fox tire does add at least+5 ghetto points to any project. But ya the rim is as centered as it can be. i added tape to the actual hub flange not the Hubcentric ring. So basically the layers of tape will be as round as the hub it’s self is. i pulled them as tightly as i could without tearing the tape and the rim slipped on snugly. Like isaid though. i was actually verry surprised at how much smoother my car felt with the tape as compared to the ring. Im not saying everyone should go and do this, but Hell it worked for me. So far lol. just hope my wheel doesnt catch fire and leave delorian trails all over the 90;) ---
