How many miles are on you car? Just curious to know the integrity of the stock sport suspension you have already?

Hub rings are usually for rims where the hub bore isn't hub centric to your make/model.

Isn't that right, or did I miss the boat completely here?

What is the interior size of your wheels?
The BMW hub bar is 72.56mm....
If your wheels are larger, you need rings to fill in the gaps to make sure the wheels are centered.

Many aftermarket wheels are 74.1mm, so rings are needed.

What do you have?
