Do you guys know the weights of the GTI rotor, R32/R rotor, and ML350 330mm rotor?

GTI are 312mm - 18.5 lbs (used)
ML350 are 330mm - 26.5 lbs
.:R are 345mm - 27.25 lbs
GL450 are 350mm - 29.5 lbs

+8lbs from stock gti rotors but the calipers should be about 5lbs lighter
-.75lbs from .:R rotor plus a larger drop in caliper weight.

the hub diameter that the wheel sits on is different than the diameter that the rotor sits on. You need a 67-65mm ring.

Where can we get this hub rings?

Oh great! I never knew this shop, having variety of sizes.

Is there anybody using this rings?
It seems the ring is made of plastic, I wonder if it won't melt by the heat.

 

[phillip1978]

I only did a quick search on google
"hubcentric rings"
There seems to be heaps of companies out there that do this, i am bit skeptical of rings made of plastic aswell but i am sure there should be more companies out there that make rings from steel or aluminium alloy
