All right SSR guys! i gotta question....First picture. The rims i just bought came with these, 4 of each. What do I do with them? Or are they used for something else?

This is the valve stem. How do i even put this on? It's got 2 black spongey washers, 2 nuts and 1 smooth nut.

The 4 rings are hubcentric rings. You install them when you mount your wheels to the hub to make sure your rims align ok. They prevent vibration when driving and ensure that all weight of the wheel is distributed evenly on all your studs. Not sure about those valve stems...

Thanks! I just don't remember ever having to add the hubcentric rings when i buy rims. Although they are usually used

As for the valve stems, I for some reason have no confidence on my local discount tire.

^^^ they will be fine if you dont use those you will have to either order new ones or drill out the rim. SSR has the smallest valve stem on the market.
