te37 question

[woodyscivic]

Sorry for not having a picture here for you to see but if you click on my profile and look at my album you will see the picture there.
Can anyone tell me if the pink ring inside my wheel is meant to be there. The wheels are te37. Would like to no if I can remove them from the wheels.

Looks like its the ring to make them hubcentric... keep it in there or order some new ones in a different colour if you dont like the pink.

It's not being pink that bothers me. When I put wheels on car they did not tighten up properly. I tighten one nut up tight and moved on to the next after I got all of them done and checked the first one and it was loose again. I had to go round each nut at least 10 times before they were all tight. I just wondering if the pink ring was the cause of this as I never experienced this before with any other wheels.

If you take the ring out will it fit onto the hub/center bore?

The inner diameter of the ring should be 64.1mm. If it's smaller then it's not designed for your car and you need some different ones (or none if the center bore of the TE37's already is 64.1mm).

To be fair mate they are cheap of eBay from jdmextravaganza I would not buy of him again as I think he sells fake items. Will be putting standard wheel nuts on in morning. As a warning to others do not buy from jdmextravaganza as he sells fakes.

Just FYI you shouldn't use OEM wheel nuts on aftermarket wheels. OEM nuts have a curved edge (ball/radius) and aftermarket are straight (tapered).
