What Are These Rings For ??
Have had these for quite some time, not sure where I acquired them from but seems sometimes "stuff" just shows up over the years. Measure 8 1/16'' in diameter, center hole is 4 7/8'' diameter, 16 smaller holes 5/8'' in diameter, just under 1/4'' thick on the ring. Thinking aluminum as non-magnetic and the white powdery type surface scale. Maybe wheel spacers the multiple holes being for numerous applications?? No idea here, sure would appreciate some help on these.

I have a couple sets of wheel spacers.. They look like them. And mine are definitely aluminum with same oxidation

Re: What Are These Rings For ??
No idea on value ? But I think they can still be picked up different thicknesses fairly reasonable. I have only ever actually ran any spacers on a 5 Lug car application and they were thicker than these, but I have worked on many duallies with these in between the rear wheels when larger tires were being ran to avoid touching. I always wondered how they don't affect balance as most I've seen were sloppy and would fall to the bottom when slid on ??

Re: What Are These Rings For ??
They look like spacer gaskets for a large pipe that has flanges..and the white stuff is a type of paper that was attached to the ring and now has flaked off
the holes are for bolts to go through

Holes are the same 8 Lug pattern but for 2 different size studs.

Re: What Are These Rings For ??
If 8-lug spacers, is the spacing correct for that? My mind goes the pipe fitting and some sort of flange or spacer

Re: What Are These Rings For ??
They matched up perfect with the rear axle of a '70 8 lug 3/4 ton truck I have been parting. Had not tried them before for that, had not thought about them being for a dually wheel spacer until recently. Now still not sure about them. The pipe flange spacer also sounds as a possiblity.

Re: What Are These Rings For ??
I have an identical set that came with my centramatic wheel balancers. So, I say wheel spacers.
