DRAutomotive(eBay seller) 5-lug hubs - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Figured I'd post up a review for anyone else thinking about going with the contano 5-lug hubs for s13s/s14s. I got them from DRautomotive on eBay for $210 w/ free shipping. Pretty much the best deal out there for NEW hubs. Quality was great, shipping was fast and customer service was top-notch. They responded to emails quickly and even have a # you can call if you have any questions.

The bearings were all greased and had no play in them which I've heard some other aftermarket bearings having. It was really just a bolt-on affair, no modifications were necessary and everything went super smoothly. Lugs were all straight and good, and had the correct thread pitch for my s13 lug nuts.

All in all I would definitely do business with them again and I tried to see if they could get a group buy going on for anyone else interested in going 5-lug on the cheap.

how long have you had your hubs running? or you just bought them?

I've had em on for a couple days no, I know not long enough to post a real review but it's a start. I can update this in a month, then 6 months, then a year and so on and so forth. But out of the box they looked/felt great, and I had my brother who's an ASE Mechanic check em over and he said they looked good. But I'll see how they do this summer since I plan to finally take my car for some track days.

Ebay hubs usually go out within the year.. I learned that mistake on my 1st 240... Hopefully you get lucky and not have issues.

Edwin, even though eBay isn't a brand, what hubs do you prefer?
