Got mine safe n' sound...but now I'm just waiting for my tires...TireRack ships them in pairs (two sets of two) and UPS managed to separate them. Right now, I have four gorgeous rims sitting in my living room, staring longingly at only two tires...

...I hate UPS.

Same here! Just waiting on my new tires!

Also, Kyle, I was told that I'll need hubcentric rings since the inner hub bore of my Konig Trouble 19" wheels don't match OEM spec, which is 66.1 mm. The Konig wheels hub bore size is 73mm. I'm totally new to the wheel and tire biz, so my Konigs may have came with the hubcentric rings already installed.

Is this the case? Or will I need to go pick 4 of these up?

I would recommend inspecting the wheels first but I doubt that they came with them. Your best bet is to head down and pick some of them up when you get your tires mounted. They will be able to make any changes right on the spot.

66.1 is what you need to fit it to the alti... the other dimension is based on the wheel's bore.. which may vary...

Its not a spacer per-say... but the wheel has a recess for the hub, its just too damn big! So the Hub-Centric rings make it fit snug, with the hub in the center.... Your wheels may need to be balanced if your getting the shakes too though...

GOT MAH NEW SHOOOOES!!! Hopefully my shop will be able to throw them on tonight!

I emailed Adidas about a week ago regarding hubcentric rings...he said that he didn't need them with the Troubles... I guess I'll find out first-hand soon enough!

I just spoke with my guy at the shop and he said that hubcentric rings weren't required because the rims were lug-centric. Does this sound familiar to anyone because I haven't heard of "lug-centric" before...

lug centric simply put means your wheels are centered by your studs and lugs.hub centric simply put means your wheels are centered on you hubs.

hub centric is the better way to go if you can find HCR's that will fit your wheel bore/hub sizes.

Also, you really don't need to find them on ebay. Any of your local tire dealers will be able to order them and on most cases get them next day.

The altima is lug centric, no hub centric rings required.

A way to tell is, if the wheel will center on the hub without the lug nuts. For example on my BMW and Eclipse, (hub-centric), there is a raised ring on the hub that the wheel fits snugly over. It'll stay right there until you insert the lug bolts. On the some cars, (like ours), the wheel just flops around on the lug studs until you snug down a couple of lugs nuts, (lug-centric).
