Absolutely incorrect. It is a hub-centric wheel that does not have the proper sized hole for our car AND our cars are designed for lug-centric wheels. With a hub wheel, it is mandatory that the hub portion is tight because it is responsible for centering the wheel and making sure it runs true....then the lugs merely clamp it on. On a lug centric wheel the hub has no bearing (meaning can be loose or not fit properly) as the acorn style lugs center AND clamp simultaneously. Either way the wheel MUST be centered to ensure vibration free operation, and a hub-centric wheel with a loose fitting hub is incorrect. All that being said, my front runners vibrated above 50mph, I added the plastic rings and all was smooth after that. I went back and added the rings to the rear anyway even though I wasnt getting any vibes from them that I could tell.
Agree^^^^^^. Realize how long ago I posted that? LOL I had to buy the hub rings myself. The first few times I used the wheels no vibration at all. After a couple installs they began to vibrate badly. I bought the rings and viola, silky smooth

Thanks man. no i didnt have to grind at all. no spacer. just buy the calipers and the rotors and bolt them up. Only thing u have to do is take your rotors to a machine shop and have the center of the rotor opened up to 71mm from 68mm. u also need a new set of front brake lines. i got mine from flynbye performance
