Hi
They're spigot rings to take up the slack on the wheels which have too large a centre bore for the Bongo fitment. If they are too large, then you should have them on all 4 wheels!

Ha...beat me to it

well that was the first thing that came to mind then I thought can't be there only made of plastic and they don't cover the entire bore of the alloys

My spigot rings were orange plastic - they only have to hold the wheel central until the wheel nuts are done up - there's no weight on them when driving.

Some wheels are stud mounted .. but Bongo wheels are spigot mounted and should fit into the 'lip' around the disc hubs ..

You should not rely on the wheel studs, as the wheel may not be accurately centred which 'may' cause wheel wobble..

Hi Colin
Measure the bore of the wheel centre. The Bongo is 67.1 mm. The 2 measurements will provide the correct spigot ring dimensions (inner and outer measurement of the ring)...alternatively, it may appear on the other 2 rings, if you check that they're the right I.D., but a set of 4 rings is cheap enough on e-bay.
I think that most manufacturers make their wheels with a large bore these days, and supply a ring to fit various makes...both sets of alloys I have have rings...not keen on them myself, as my original alloys are correctly bored...BUT...it seems like there's little choice

Cheers
Helen

After checking the size of my spigot rings with the eBay seller 73 x 67.1 mm and him replying yes these are perfect he sent me out a set 73 x 54.1 mm I have so far sent five messages to him telling him of this, and so far after three days he has not responded its a company not a private seller, doing me ead in
