Vanquish Wheel Hubs - What do the numbers mean?

[DRED805]

I got the vanquish 2.2 stainless rotor style wheel weights, but my SSD hubs won't fit in them. I guess I'll spend another $40 on vanquish hubs that'll fit.:roll:

Anyway, the hubs come in SLW 225, SLW 350, SLW 475, etc. Google helped me figure out what SLW means (6 lug wheel), but the numbers still mean nothing to me. Should I assume 225 means 2.25mm? I need them to be in the 5-7mm thick range.

Has anyone used these weights with a cheaper hub that works? Any input is appreciated. Thanks.

Wheel Offset. I am not sure how they are number, but each one has a different offset for the hex hub. The smaller ones are the shorted, keeping the hex in the wheel, the higher numbers push the he's towards the outside of the rim, pushing the wheel farther away from the hub.

I think you may be right in the 225 equals 2.25mm but I am only guessing.

Thanks, I can see that just from the pictures of the different hubs. I just don't understand why they can't give clear measurements. Makes me want to buy from a different company, just because I'm annoyed.

Measurements are in imperial
225 = .225 or 1/4"
350 = .350 or 3/8" and so on all in 1/8" increments

Thank you, Sir!

Thats what I was thinking, but had no idea of their exact measurements.
I assumed it was 1/8th by the numbers. But you know what they say about ASSUME. lol

I'll just add that 350 is usually a safe staring point if your unsure what you need.

HumboldtEF you are correct that they are imperial, but .225 is. not a 1/4 inch (.250) and .350 is not 3/8 inch (.375) Not sure why they chose those numbers but if you use a tape or ruler to measure, your dimensions will be off. I did learn someing though, didn't know SLW was 6 lug wheels.:shock:

SLW stands for scale light weight.

My guess is sae measurements are typical in U.S. machining operations, and for simplicity they stuck with that vs labeling them 5.715mm, 8.89mm, etc.

They are in 1/8” increments, and 1/8” is 3.175mm, so keep that in mind when determining desired track width.

I do know they opt for sae screws in the beadlock ring and hub due to deeper thread depth - more strength.

The number is out of an inch divided by 1000. So 0.250/1000 is 1/4 inch 0.125/1000 1/8, and so on.

HumboldtEF you are correct that they are imperial, but .225 is. not a 1/4 inch (.250) and .350 is not 3/8 inch (.375)

You're right My bad, I sincerely apologize for rounding up and being off by less than 1/32" "thumbsup"

Don't feel bad, in my line of work that would be a whole part. I tend to be a bit anal with numbers. A lot of my tolerances are +/- .oo2 mm or almost 80 millionths. It's still just a toy truck"thumbsup"

I like your style Hal, sorry to get gruff with ya.
