I bought mine off e-bay for cheap.

They have a lip on them that interfered with my Enkei wheels. So, I took them to a local machine shop and had the lip turned off for $10.

Now, they fit perfectly and the car is vibration free up to 120.

The rings will help to center up the wheel & if those lugnuts have a 60* bulge seat...be sure & have some good ones.
I'd find out peak torque on the studs you're using & pull them tighter than 80 ft.lbs.
80 is for the shank style oem factory lugnut's.
My Forgestars came w/rings & I also replaced my studs...as I pull quite a few more pounds than that.

It's not bad, but it's more than enough to annoy me.

I installed the wheels myself originally, used 82 ft lbs, in a star pattern... yesterday discount did their thing balanced the wheels and put them back on, and it's still there. So unfortunately I don't think that's the problem either :(


Edit: I ordered a set of 73 outer 66.1 inner hubcentric rings just in case. I'm willing to lose $20 just to make sure...

stabbing hard on the brakes @60mph & light grip on the steering wheel,will tell you if rotor's are warped...also don't ever touch them with your fingers while your wheel's are off; it can put oil from your skin on them.

A wheel that has a slight amount of lateral or radial runout will "0" out a balance machine,,,but the tire tech should see this & inform you.

The hub rings will help & use nut's with the correct "bulge/seat" as this is very important.
