I asked this same question today. Discount tire sells the correct size.

Thanks to Aleph.



These have the same diameter hub as my volks, so i can use the same 73.0 x 64.15 konig centering rings.

Whats the purpose of these rings anyway? Will I damage anything if I continue to use these rims without those rings?

Seat the wheeel diameter to the hub diameter so you dont have the gap between your rims diameter to hub diameter.

I have the slipstream too. NO, you do not need the rings. It's a waste of money. The rings purpose is to center the wheels. They do not cary the load of the car. The lug nuts will center the wheels for you, but make sure you torque it down correctly. It is be between 80-84 lbs.

They make it easier to take the lugs on and off.

Discount tire sells the correct size.
they didn't have them (in Atl at least) when i tired to get 'em 3 months ago so i said F it since some people said the plastic ones can melt anyway
i've since had them on the street for 1 month and 3 HPDEs without the rings and haven't had any problem whatsoever

-jeff, who doesn't find it hard to get the lugs on and off them either

One Discount Tire I called was out of stock and another had them.
but I didn't end up getting them, the rings from my current wheels fit fine.
