So, my summer set of rims is aftermarket. In putting on my stock/winter set, knowing nothing about aftermarket rims, I had a real blast.............not only did I have to fight with the custom locking lug nut on each wheel, but the lug holes on the rim are too narrow to fit a standard 4-way lug wrench, so I had to make due with a deep socket and ratchet................
Anyhow, I ended up breaking a few of the aluminum hubcentric rings that were on with the aftermarket rims, as a few stayed on the hub when I put my stock rims back on......crushed 'em.
I'm looking to buy a new set, now knowing all about what the purpose is, but I'm having trouble finding the right size. Most websites selling rims include them for free. I just need the rings. Most websites selling just the rings sell them by size, which I don't know offhand. One website I found can find specific rings for my car and rim, but won't tell me what size they are to shop around.
Maybe someone else can help?
Aftermarket rims are:
