are these actually needed if you do your nuts up properly?

Hub rings are required if the wheel does not have a 'neat' fit between the wheel bore hole and the hub diameter. Many wheels are 'multi-fit' to suit many vehicles, by stud pattern, but not necessarily for the hub fitment. Conact me as I may have aset to suit.

Me thinks you need a new pic to show off that new yellow stag there Marc.

Yes needed if not a snug fit as already said.

When I got my car it had aftermarket rims with no hub locators - gave savage wheel shake over 80kph.

I couldnt find any to fit so I took the rim off and machined some up to size in the workshop. I dont have access to a proper workshop anymore but I am sure someone could machine some up for you if you cant find any to suit.

Most of the ones you buy are nylon/plastic i think, I made mine from alloy.

      Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!

      Brumbys with good shells are bloody expensive, I've looked at 2 "cheaper" cars, and walked away from both,  plus after some research spare parts are fairly sparce I'm starting to think that I missed the boat on finding a clean one that is straight (ish) and without alot rust I'm starting to think about a old Hilux as panels and other parts are much more available as they sold tens of thousands of them I use to be indecisive but now I'm not sure

      A Brumby would probably fit a big metal toolbox in the back... this is how it begins

      Picked up a new OEM boot seal for the MX5 today as the old one got ripped a bit by me being a idiot by seeing if I could fit a large metal tool box in it, it didn't fit, and ripped the seal with the corner of the tool box I am still waiting on time to get the cams and new balancer installed, as well as the repairs to the boot Time will not be an issue soon though

      I was more thinking so it doesn't flop around as much rather than for rotating it. Once you have the balance right, it should rotate well enough, depending on how much resistance there is on the pivot. I think you said the pivot point was on a bearing though didn't you?
