Weld Magnum 'Pro' centres

[twinturbo615]

:confused: Hi. I recently purchased a set of new Magnum 2.0's but I need the Pro centres as there has been a rule change in Australia & New Zealand for us which now requires we use the Pro centre; can these be purchased on their own? If not that's me out for the season as I simply cannot afford to buy another pair of rims due to the cost of them here ($2600ea).

Thanks.

It is possible to purchase the Magnum Pro center separately to replace the Magnum 2.0 centers in your wheels. However, the Magnum Pro center is thicker and has a deeper "drop" which will change the backspacing of your wheels one inch. For example, using the Magnum Pro center in a 5" back space Magnum 2.0 wheel will cause the back spacing to become 4".

I thought they looked quite a bit thicker... so it effectively pushes the wheel out 1". That's fine. Do you have a cost on a pair of 5 x 5.0" centres; or who should I contact? Thanks for your reply.

In Australia, you should contact Rocket Industries, Victorian Performance, or Wheelboyz. You will also need the center bolts for the Magnum Pro center which is part number P613-7045.

Thanks for your help, much appreciated.

Well, contacted Rocket & by the time I get them here the centres will cost NZD$850ea... totally ridiculous considering i've already been ripped off by VPW in Australia for the rims; 16x16DBL Magnum 2.0, NZD$2600ea... that's me out; more than likely sell the wheels at a huge loss & sell the car. Tired of being ripped off by companies.
Thanks anyway.
