I have had no problems with my aftermarket wheels. Mine came with manufacturers rings (probably generic rings relabeled with the manufacturer's name). They are not works, but they are not from a n unknown maker like Rennen. Maybe that was your first misstep.
Hope that helps a little.

Its actually the other way around. 99% of the wheels are hub centric but require hub rings to make up the gap. Every single wheel I have owned had hub rings installed. I will never own or want to own lug centric wheels. Those types of wheels put too much stain on the lugs. You want the wheel to rest on the hub to take the weight of the car.
So OP, just tell the retailer that you need the right size hub rings and you're set. For a manufacturer to make wheels hub centric without having to use rings would cost you a fortune. To sell them to the masses, they make x amount of different size hub openings and then use rings (which are pennies to them) and send them to you. You're worrying for nothing.
