Wheel Mate Muteki Hub-Centric Ring Set – 73mm OD x 67mm ID | Blue | 2-Piece (WMPHR7306702PC)
Wheel Mate Muteki Hub-Centric Ring Set – 73mm OD x 67mm ID | Blue | 2-Piece
Eliminate wheel vibration and ensure a true hub-centric fit with the Wheel Mate Muteki Hub-Centric Ring Set. When an aftermarket wheel’s center bore is larger than the vehicle’s hub diameter, the wheel is lug-centric rather than hub-centric — meaning the lug nuts alone are responsible for centering the wheel. This can cause vibration, shimmy, and uneven stress on the lug nuts and studs. These 73mm OD x 67mm ID hub rings fill the gap between a 73mm center bore wheel and a 67mm vehicle hub, restoring a true hub-centric fit for smooth, vibration-free operation. Sold as a 2-piece set in blue for easy identification.
Key Features:
- 73mm OD x 67mm ID — fills the gap between a 73mm wheel center bore and a 67mm vehicle hub for a true hub-centric fit
- 2-piece set — includes two hub rings, sufficient for one axle (front or rear)
- Blue finish — colour-coded for easy identification and a clean appearance
- Eliminates wheel vibration — hub-centric fit prevents the shimmy and vibration caused by lug-centric wheel mounting
- Wheel Mate Muteki quality — trusted brand in the JDM and import enthusiast community
- Simple installation — press or snap into the wheel center bore before mounting
Performance Benefits:
- True Hub-Centric Fit: Hub rings center the wheel precisely on the vehicle hub, ensuring the wheel rotates on its true center — eliminating the vibration and shimmy that occurs when a wheel is lug-centric
- Reduced Vibration: A properly centered wheel eliminates the rotational imbalance that causes steering wheel vibration, particularly at highway speeds
- Reduced Stress on Studs and Lug Nuts: Hub-centric mounting transfers wheel centering load to the hub rather than the lug nuts and studs, reducing the lateral stress on fasteners during driving
- Easier Wheel Installation: Hub rings hold the wheel centered on the hub during installation, making it easier to thread lug nuts without the wheel shifting
- Professional Finish: Colour-coded blue rings are easy to identify and provide a clean, finished appearance in the wheel center bore
Specifications:

- Part Number: WMPHR7306702PC
- Outer Diameter (OD): 73mm (wheel center bore)
- Inner Diameter (ID): 67mm (vehicle hub diameter)
- Colour: Blue
- Quantity: 2-piece set (one axle)
- Material: High-strength plastic / aluminium (verify with product documentation)
Fitment Information:
- For wheels with a 73mm center bore installed on vehicles with a 67mm hub diameter
- Common 67mm hub diameter vehicles include: Subaru (WRX/STI/BRZ/Forester/Outback/Legacy), Mitsubishi (Evo/Eclipse/Galant), and others — verify your specific vehicle’s hub diameter before ordering
- Common 73mm center bore wheels include many aftermarket wheels designed for the 5x114.3 and 5x100 bolt patterns — verify your wheel’s center bore before ordering
- Note: Measure both your vehicle’s hub diameter and your wheel’s center bore before ordering. Hub ring dimensions must match exactly — OD must equal the wheel center bore, ID must equal the vehicle hub diameter.
- Sold as a 2-piece set — order 2 sets for a complete 4-wheel fitment
What’s Included:
- Wheel Mate Muteki hub-centric rings – 73mm OD x 67mm ID, blue (WMPHR7306702PC)
- 2 rings per set (one axle)
Installation Notes:
- Clean the wheel center bore and vehicle hub before installation
- Press or snap the hub ring into the wheel center bore — it should fit snugly without forcing
- Mount the wheel onto the hub — the hub ring will center the wheel automatically
- Thread and torque lug nuts to specification
- Hub rings may remain in the wheel center bore when the wheel is removed — inspect and reinstall at each wheel change
- Replace hub rings if cracked, deformed, or no longer fitting snugly in the center bore
Why Hub-Centric Rings Matter:
Most aftermarket wheels are manufactured with a larger center bore than the vehicle’s hub to accommodate a wide range of hub diameters across different vehicles. This is practical for wheel manufacturers but creates a fitment gap between the wheel and hub. Without a hub ring, the wheel is centered by the lug nuts alone — a lug-centric fit that relies on the lug nuts to carry both clamping and centering loads. Under driving conditions, this can cause the wheel to shift slightly off-center, producing vibration that is often mistaken for wheel balance issues. Hub-centric rings fill this gap precisely, restoring the wheel to its true center and transferring the centering load back to the hub where it belongs.
Why Wheel Mate Muteki?
Wheel Mate’s Muteki lineup is one of the most trusted names in the JDM and import enthusiast community for wheel hardware — lug nuts, hub rings, and wheel accessories engineered for the fitment requirements of popular Japanese performance platforms. Their hub ring lineup covers a wide range of OD/ID combinations with colour-coded options for easy identification and a clean appearance.
Perfect For:
- Subaru WRX/STI/BRZ/Forester owners installing aftermarket wheels with a 73mm center bore on a 67mm hub
- Mitsubishi Evo and Eclipse builds with 73mm center bore aftermarket wheels
- Any 67mm hub vehicle running 73mm center bore aftermarket wheels experiencing vibration or shimmy
- Wheel installations where a hub-centric fit is required for smooth, vibration-free operation
- Anyone upgrading from no hub rings to a proper hub-centric wheel fitment
Pro Tip: Always use hub-centric rings when installing aftermarket wheels with a larger center bore than your vehicle’s hub. If you’ve already installed wheels without hub rings and are experiencing vibration that persists after balancing, hub rings are often the solution — the vibration is caused by the wheel running slightly off-center, not by balance issues.
Note: Sold as a 2-piece set — sufficient for one axle (2 wheels). Order 2 sets for a complete 4-wheel fitment. Verify both your wheel’s center bore (73mm) and your vehicle’s hub diameter (67mm) before ordering.
