Now, I am running 17 inch Volk Racing TE-17, front 48mm and rear 50mm offset.. Ok, now, my friend told me that the wheel doesn't fit perfectly.... I need donuts put in the wheel... so, the wheel won't hold by lug nut but itself.... However, anyone has the same problem??

You need hub rings. Get them from Richard.

Yup, Mingster has them for the Spoon wheels. I don't know if you can use the same ones. Otherwise just go to any wheel shop and ask for hubcentric rings. Stock wheels don't need them cuz they're already hubcentric.

Thanks for your information!

after 15k miles, i learned about hubrings and hubscentric......

but.... i still haven't done anything about it.... i have 5 lugnuts(as do all of us), i don't think the wheels are going anywhere, and the stress will make my studs fall off or break.
