Default 81mm hub centric rings

Anyone know where I can find 81mm outer diameter rings? Biggest I can find is 78mm. I can get 5 steel wheels less than the price of 4 aluminum wheels.

SUMMIT RACING
Part Number: GOR-82-7150
However, I'd go with a 71.5 center bore wheel.

Steel wheels are not designed to accept hub centric rings. Just make sure you center the wheels during installation by following the correct 5 lug tightening pattern and you'll be fine.

Things that make you go "huh." Just another reason to go with a hub centric wheel or at least one that has a center bore within a mm or mm and a half of the factory 71.5.

Unlike alloy wheels that have proper recessed cuts in the center bore, the center bore on steel wheels are just an open stamped hole.
