Default Hub centric and ROTAs

Ok I know what it means to have a hub centric wheel.
here's a read up on what it mean to have hub centric rim
http://www.preludecrazy.com/wheeltyre/wheelspec.php ---- then read center bore.
My question is for those of you who have ROTAs on any car, i.e. Integra, Prelude, Civic, ect how have you dealt with getting the ROTA rim to be hub centric with the hub of your car?
I know hub centric rings will do the trick but some are rubber and can melt.
Where can you get alloy hub centric rings?
And lastly are ya'll even aware of this very technical aspect of rims. I did a search and nothing came up.

hubcentric rings should be either plastic or metal - plastic is all you need, it shouldn't melt or anyting like that. i believe most rotas are 73mm. what kind of car is it for? you need to know exact diameter of your hub. once you know..

call all your local performance shops, at least one will have it, even some aftermarket wheel places might get you hubcentric rings as long as you know the specs.

price is about $10-25 set and will reduce road vibration/wear.

you dont need the hubcentric rings if you have the correct style lugnut for the wheel. I have two sets of hubcentric rings for 15 inch 5x114.3 Rota Subzero wheel that you can have if they fit your particular Rota.

I participated in a 2 day driver school this weekend with my newly acquired Rota wheels with no hubcentric rings. Had no problems at all. The wheels were great. Hope this helps.
