off them come
I have Volks and don't have the hubcentric rings, seems the shop that installed them forgot. From what I've heard they are not required, they are there only to center the wheel for optimum balance. They do not provide any structural support. But I'm still trying to figure out why in the last 6 months and two seperate occasions, I've had 3 broken studs on my right front wheel. Talking to our resident PACNW wheel expert, he says the missing rings are not to blame. But what is?

Work on Saturday NIGHT is pure hell! :beginrun-onsentence: Especially when you wake up Friday afternoon at 2:00 in the afternoon after not sleeping well, got to work at 7:00 Friday evening, work until 7:30 Saturday morning, get off work, drive 1.5 hours to Seattle to attend a career workshop with the Seattle Police department, stay there until 1:30 in the afternoon, drive home and get stuck in traffic, get home and go to bed at 3:30 get up a couple hours later again without good sleep, go to work at 7:00 Saturday night and work until 7:30 Sunday morning. :endrun-onsentence: I'm tired right now.

yea man.. apparently my rims were a bit on the wobbly side after installing the rings... i took them off and it sits flush against the hub now... if you custom ordered you volks for s2k offsets and size.. then the volks are already hubcentric... the hub rings are specifically for accords, vigors and legends... which is what it says...

so its all good in the hood now
