Isolators are still in there. No hose mod.
RPM wheels are not hubcentric. Our cars are made for hubcentric wheels (wheel rides on the hub), if you do not have hubcentric rings all the weight will be on the wheel studs (the rings take up the space between the hub and the wheel). Also, they are 5x120 bolt pattern which is not exactly the correct bolt pattern (5x120.65). You will probably get 100 different opinions as to whether they are needed or not and I'm sure there are many out there running without them but I say "better safe then sorry". The rings came with the package and the theory behind the rings makes since to me so I put them on.

I think the boxes they came in said 45lb total, if that means anything. How much do you figure a box and packing weighs?

I found them in stock at performanceplustire.com $185/ 19X8.5 and $210/19X9.5 black with machined face. I'm not buying them as a package so do they automatically come with the wheels.. Also I found 73mm-72.56/72.6 will those work?
looks good
