Default Just ordered HP evos. What else?

I just ordered some HP evos. 18x8front 18x9rear. Is there anything else i need besides keyed lugnuts? I saw someone mention something about a hubcentering ring. What is that? Also, where can I pick up some keyed lug nuts? And what size to they need to be? Thanks for the help!

I've got 18x9 EVOs all the way around. The bolt pattern was made for imports, mainly BMW. It's 5x120mm. The GM bolt pattern in 5x120.65mm, so the wheels are just a tad bit smaller. Since it's smaller it won't sit exactly centered on the hub. The hub-centering ring does just that (supposedly). I've been running mine without the rings for almost a year now, and I've never had a problem. Only thing i did was but a 3/8" spacer on my back wheels. It pushed them out just enough to look awesome from behind. Just make sure the lug nuts are properly torqued and you shouldn't have any problems. Oh yeah, and trying to keep them clean is a PITA.... lots of small areas.
