Default So much for custom wheels..........
Looks like I am SOL on these wheels I had built. With a 4.25" bore they are not exactly hub centric as spec'd. Otherwise, the offset/backspacing looks to have turned out just right for the slicks and they clear the calipers by just a hair.

Just have it balanced with a lugcentric adaptor. It'll b fine. I don't think the trucks even had hubcentric wheels until the late 80's.......

Rings kind of defeat the purpose of paying to have custom wheels built. My alloy wheels actually center better if I don't use the plastic rings. So I really wanted to avoid that type of wheel for the track/slicks.

They took 3 months to ship and now that I finally picked them up, Stockton Wheel no longer exists.
