don't waste your money on hubcentric adapters. they are totally unnecessary

I have some that you can have for free if you pay the shipping.. They are too wide for any kind of application that I can think of. I think they are 15 mm. Not sure. Never did use them.
PM me if you want to see some pics?

the wheels are centered on the lugs, not the center bore (hub).

yeah. our cars aren't hubcentric at all. hubcentric rings are just as useless as those screws on our brake rotors.

Agreed about the rotor screws. I'm tempted to try hubcentric rings just to see if they remove the extra noise/vibrations I get with my aftermarket wheels. I suspect it's just because they are wider, have lower profile tires, and a different offset, but I'm curious.

I found this Site that has a neat search function to tell you which size you need that is wheel specific... http://justforwheels.com/index.jsp I've never ordered from them so this is not an endorsement.

Oh yeah! Wife works at a dealership so things like that are cheap and easy to do. I still do my own work, but I don't have a tire balance machine or alignment rack, so I leave that to them.
