Obviously you must select a wheel with the correct hub bore [66mm] or secure metal adapter rings for each wheel.

Re: f50 wheel question (Q45tech)
Tech, do you REALLY think that you need the hubcentric rings?
Reason I ask, is that the hub does not bear any load on the wheel, rather it just centers the lug nuts..
my wheels are not hubcentric, and all I do is tighten the wheels unladen and in stages.. Like tighten 2 lugs just so they're engaged, and then put the rest on, torque, then torque again with the wheels on the ground.
Ultimately, the goal is that the lugs are centered about the lug nuts, and as long as you're careful in torquing the wheels, that should be good enough?
also Tech, might take a gander at my thread in the wheel/tire forum...
