Subject:      hubcentric question
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Obviously the steel wheels are not hubcentric but are the after market alums supplied by many bearing load on the axle/hub at any point?

it appears the dust cap would prevent this. So i'm assuming the load is being beared on the studs.

any comments from those in the know?

i know there is 1001 comments on wheels/rims but i have seen very little on load bearing and hubcentrics. i just don't know how the after market rims could bear the load by just the lugs/studs. but then on the flip side I doubt there is any load bearing from what I can see!
