Ok, so Caitlin is getting my Si wheels on her Corolla. I tossed one on a few months ago and it looked surprisingly good...

Issue
Si wheel bore: 56mm
Corolla: 54mm

I did some quick looking and can't find any hubcentric rings for this (they'd be paper [1mm] thin)... should I not even care? The wheels will not be put on/off after the first time, and she's not driving too aggressively in corners (although she hits the happy pedal like a mad man).

Honestly, I've made up my mind... I don't care. I just want to hear it from someone else Tongue

Dont need 'em. Get the lugnuts snugged down on the wheel with the wheel off the ground and it will be centered.

I've NEVER used them.

Make sure you use the correct lugnuts too.

That picture is awful.

OMG dude you'll totally mess up the aero on the car without using rings. If you're 1mm off that will cause a harmonic wobble! Combine that with the exhaust pulse venturies and the car will flip on its roof at 188mph!
