Hubcentric Rings
Anyone know where i can get an aluminum hub centric ring.
ID: 66.6 OD: 60.1
I've only come across ID:60.1 OD:66.6. Thanks in advance.

Discount tire or most any tire shop should have them or be able to get them easily enough.

I don't think you are making sense. If your wheel is 60.1 (OD) and your hub is 66.6 (ID), then you need to machine your wheel (ie-drill the hole bigger). I am not sure how safe that is. I am assuming ID means inner diameter and OD means outer diameter. That would be the reason you have only found the one type of ring. Or someone tell me if I'm taking crazy pills...

I've used this guy to make me custom rings and spacers. Ian will machine you what ever you need..

If the hub of the wheel is BIGGER then your cars hub you use rings.
If the hub of the wheel is SMALLER then your cars hub then you don't have the option of using rings considering rings don't magically change the size of your hub, they are just filling the extra room.

Thats not how it works.

The only way it might work is if you ran spacers that had some sort of adapter that stepped the hub bore down. But I don't even know if they make those. And I don't know how much clearance you have to run spacers.

By far the best way to fix this problem is to increase the wheel's pilot hole diameter to 66.6

You sure about that? If the company makes that wheel with a 66.6 hub bore, then I don't see a problem. But then why doesn't the OP just buy those then? 3.25 mm machined from the hub seems like a good chunk of metal to me. My engineering brain sees possible structural issues with that. Spacers that step down the size seem better.

I hear you, but most wheels will be made to be machined to fit to multiple hubs. You don't have to ream the entire pilot hole. Just sufficient to seat the wheels.
The more interfaces you have the better the chance of losing hubcentricity & vibration/run out.

Having "some guy" do it in his shop as he pulls out his collection of Harbor Freight key-hole drill bits and eyeballs where true-center is would have me worried.

Yes ~ If one is determined to try & mount the wrong wheels it needs to be professionally done.
