Hub-centric rings are only needed for aftermarket wheels, not the factory wheels (which have the proper bore machined into the wheel). Almost all aftermarket wheels have an overly-large bore that accepts rings to fit the hubs of different vehicles. The ring looks like a large thick washer and is held in with a spring clip. If you don't use rings, then you are relying on the lugs to center the wheels. This can cause balance problems, as lug-centric mounting does not guarantee hub-centric rotation. If in doubt, you can measure the center bore of the factory wheels and the aftermarket wheels; ideally they should match (directly, or with a ring). Craig

Replying to: c_hunter (Jan 20, 2006 9:01 am) so this is not the lug nut bolt pattern then.. this is something different. My aftermarket wheels were tapered holes so the acorn tapered lug nuts when tightened centered the wheel in relation to the bolts.

A darker blue would look better. Here's the pic for the lazy:  They gotta ditch the chrome in that grille. A black honeycomb grille would look sooooo much better, even with that blue. The chrome really clashes with the rally colors. Then again, I've always hated chrome! -juice |
