Hub Centric rings pita They stick to the hub....
Just put the winter rims on and had a bitch of a time getting the hub centric rings to slide onto the hub. I used a wire brush to remove any rust and sprayed the hub with WD 40.
Was that a good idea?
2.These rings still are sticking and when and if I get a flat it will be snowing cold and dark.Trying to get the ring off will be tough as the rim will come off leaving the ring in place.
After the winter i often have to use WD40 and a pipe wrench to grab the ring to get it off.
Any suggestions as to what to do?

2nd...Liberal amounts of anti-sieze paste works well for me.
Look at the large picture in the link below and see how it is applied to the center of the hub and the flat surface of the hub.<ul><li><a href="http://ctny-audi.com/index.html">Linky</a></li></ul>
