Default Hubcentric ring size for 501s

Okay guys, I need a set of hubcentric rings for my 501s.
I know that the inside diameter should be 54.1, but I'm not sure what the OD should be for the 501s.

Can anyone help me here?

Thanks Jason! You rule.

And yea, I was never really thinking about it, but I had a noise to deal with... I noticed how not even close they are. I just wanna take the strain off of the studs.

So... 73mm OD and 54.1 ID, correct?

Yes, sir. That's what the distributor said. You do have 15" wheels, correct?

Yep. So I gotta pick up a 54.1-73mm set of rings.

I did call Sportmax to verify, plus, they're going to mail me a handful of the rivets, since I've lost a couple.

I was hearing a bit of a clunking, I figured I would just cover my bases. But really. Pop the centercap off and see how not close the hubs are.

You need to get a 54.1mm ID 73mm OD ring. I got mine tonight from a tuner shop for 20 bucks.

It eliminates most of the stress on the studs and stabilizes the wheel better.

I don't think the website actually works... but it's a local place.

Top Speed Auto Accessory - the prices on pretty much everything are reasonable too.

They're on Archer, near Chinatown.

The hub should be the same size, but you can call Sportmax @ 800-647-7462 to verify.

You should be able to get the rings at any wheel shop.
