Well, I got the rim today, but...

Aren't they supposed to have hubcentric rings? None came with the wheel (other td's I've ordered did). I did notice on the box the size/bolt pattern/ then 73mm and black. Did they cut them so the rings werent needed anymore? if it does need the ring I'm screwed as the rims are being swapped thurs morning unless I can find one around here somewhere.

For all the good one tries to do. I just called and they are sending one. Don't know if it will get there in time. Hope you can find your original one in the meantime.

lol, I believe I may have saved the old one and put it in my odds and ends box, I'll have to check.
I just had a brilliant thought... it may have fallen out depending where they put them, the box has handholds so a couple nice big areas to fall out of.
By the way, thanks again for everything :D

If you can't find it, let me know. I will take a run to Discount Tire in Mankato tomorrow and pick one up if they have it. I'll overnight it on my dime so you'll get it in plenty of time. Just let me know.

You know, I am familiar with their boxes and have had that thought. For the few sets I shipped from home, I boxed taped them to a side just in case.

Ok. If you find one there, shoot me the cost and I'll refund it out of your Paypal payment.

Hey, it's no biggie. things happen. Don't think they're but a couple bucks anyways. I just didn't know if they were still using rings or if they started boring the hubs for the focus size...lol

Well I hope you had better luck cause I struck out with Discount Tire in Mankato. They checked stock for the region and Rosedale and Brooklynn Park had them. They are 63.4mm-70mm, come in a pack of 4 for $15. I couldn't make it into the cities.

Let me know how you made out.
