they should sit on your hub, your wheels then fit onto these, nice and snug. :)

i'm not 100% sure but it's something to do with the outer diamter of your hub and your inside diameter of you wheel centre. usually used for after market wheels. think of it as an adaptor... [hmm

Harsha, without those rings you wheels may not be properly seated but sometimes they do. Best that you get a set from BBS. I will ask for you how much they cost when I pick up my wheels on Sat.

sounds as if if u have vibration problems then using a hub may help (apparently balancing tyres usually have no benefit). Harsha, can u feel excessive vibration from your new wheels?

I got quite a few wheel bolts but since I use all locking bolts on mine anyway, the BBS ones are still in their original blister packs ;)
