I found these on tirerack.com, what do you guys think?

MODA MD5


18 x 8 inches - $179/wheel
Offset: +40mm Backspacing: 6.10" Bolt Pattern: 5-115

19 x 8.5 inches - $149/wheel
Offset: +40mm Backspacing: 6.37" Bolt Pattern: 5-115

Question though, what is the centering ring and a retaining clip for AL-P ring for?

Well other manufacturers have claimed that their wheels are hubcentric and will work with our w-bodies but go to the ASA sticky at the top of our section and learn of the possible danger of installing wheels without a small spacer or a centering ring.

Thanks for the info Nacho. I read about the ASA wheels. I'm hoping these wheels here do not have that issue.

pro_performer what you will need to do(like in my case) mount the wheels up and torque them down. Then take a feeler gauge and run it between the wheel(hub mounting surface) and the rotor hub surface, if there is a gap...you will need a spacer like I did. Even as tiny as a piece of paper. Trust me. Or you could just let me know when you get the wheels and we can check it out. Up to you.

I'll definitely check it with you. I plan on spending my tax return on my car, so I may have a few more goodies other than wheels.

So just to be clear-When installing afetrmarket wheels on,let's say my GXP, I should install hubcentric rings.

I also would like to know if this is just for ASA wheels or all aftermarket ones.

Aftermarket wheels tend to have a larger center bore, thus the hub centric rings. Its not necessary to run them but it does help with vibrations and helps the wheel make contact with the hub.

By the way thats a good looking wheel. What size are you going with? The 19's would look sweet on a lowered car.

pro_performer

I'm still toying with the idea of having 19's. The only reason that is making me think about it is tire price. They jump up quite a bit. But I agree, they would look really sweet.

Go with the 19's. Go big or go home pro!
