the rings came with the wheels. Technically you don't really need them. They keep the wheel centered though so if you have them I would use them.

I didn't use centering rings (didn't come with the wheels) on mine- honestly didn't even think about them until after I had the wheels mounted up and the car on the road again. I don't get any vibration even at triple digit speeds, but I do make sure to snug the wheels up in steps before any load is on the tires, then torque several times after rolling the car back and forth.

I ordered a full set of Gorilla wheel locks: 21633SD. Summit sells them here: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/GOR-21633SD/

Every single lug nut is a lock with that system. It costs about $40-50, depending on where you buy it from.

I just ordered the "fitment kit" or whatever Discount Tire calls it and it did come with 2 sets of the rings in a TSW box and those same lug nuts. I want to say it was like 40 or 50 for both.

Hmm. Maybe I need to call them and ask for the centering rings...

I ordered a set of tires for my Nurburgs from Discount tire just now and when I asked for a fitment kit the dude was kind of a dick. He acted like I didn't know what I was talking about then when he asked about the size I was like" uh well you sell the wheels and can look it up for my car, right? I don't know the bore size"

So I placed my tire order and he said he'd look up the ring size for me. We'll see if it works out.

Interesting. I placed an order last week with Ryan from Discount and he was very helpful, knowledgeable and pleasant. I ordered a set of 18's in gunmetal. He even made sure to get me black lug nuts instead of chrome.

I've run my nurburgrings with and without the hubcentric rings from Discount tire. I noticed no difference during autocrosses, or on the highway to and from the events.

The guy from WheelWarehouse I ordered the wheels from threw in the rings and lugs for me at no charge. I should get everything in tomorrow and will post pics soon. Next track day is 10/23. Expect pics and videos.

I'm really thinkin about getting these for my silverstone car. Can't decide on what color just yet though.

matte black looks mean and race'y but I really like what that dude with the white car did painting the insides bright silver.

I'd really like to see pictures of the 17" TSW interlagos in silver on the Silverstone S2. This bright car looks pretty darn good but they are 18's. These TSW lips make the 17s a little larger than other rims.

I think the matte black Nurburgring's look a bit more stylish and classy b/c of the BBS look though. I'm worried about the paint a little. I wonder how the wheel would take to a clear satin coating for extra protection.

Anyone want to sell me their Nurburgrings?

Looks like there is a good chance I'll be joining the club soon...
