What Are Spigot Rings?

Spigot rings are rings made from hard-wearing plastic or occasionally metal, which fit into the wheel's centre bore and allow the wheel to fit snugly and safely on to your car. Without spigot rings, your wheels can be incorrectly mounted onto your car which can cause symptoms like vibration or wobble in the wheels.

Do I need spigot rings?

It is highly recommended that you buy a set of spigot rings before setting out on the road with your brand-new alloy wheels, despite what some internet driving enthusiasts say. Without them, wheels can be incorrectly mounted onto the hub, causing vibrations and wobbling whenever you drive.

What is the purpose of a spigot ring?

Spigot rings are usually made of metal or hard plastic and come in many different sizes. Their purpose is to help align aftermarket wheels. This is because third-party wheels have larger centre bores to accommodate a number of different vehicles.
