Just received hub centering rings for my SSR type C rims.
Any idea whats the metal wire for and how to install that?
Theres one wire for each ring.

that kina looks like a clip to hold the centercap on. maybe the hubcentric ring fits inside the wheel and that c-clip is like a snapring holds it in place?

I am really not sure, but I will call Tanabe in the morning. Don't remember seeing those before.

I had two of those with mine. Don't know what they're for but I don't think you need them.

When you install SSR wheels, you put the centering rings in the wheels,then the wheels on the car. The wires are retaining wires, they go in to hold the centering rings in place while putting the wheel on the car.

I didn't use them to install my wheels.
