I bought an aftermarket rims... I thought it would be ok without the hub rings.
Result after driving around my block:
wheels wobbled, clanking sound. All the bolts were loosened.
basically my hub bore measured: 57mm and the rim measured at 70mm so I figure too much force was put on the bolts.

Question about the center hub adapters. I just replaced my pieplate rims and runflat tires with new rims and tires that came with the hub adapter rings. I am keeping one of my old rims and tires in the trunk as a spare.
If I get a flat and have to put my old rim and tire on do I have to take off that hub adapter ring and is it easy to take off if I am stuck on the side of the rode with a flat tire?
Thanks for any reponse, Cliff.

If you didn't need hub rings with the stock wheels you wouldn't need them if you put one of the wheels back on. It wouldn't fit over the hub ring anyway.
Okay, I was a little sarcastic but I couldn't help myself. Sorry.
Have you posted pics? I wanna see the ride.

Some people are going to think this is a stupid question but I won't say that and I'll answer the question to keep someone else from a harsh reply.

Yeah, they come right off. No tools needed unless they have coroded into the metal then a screww driver or something thin can be used to pry it loose. Usually, they come right off with no issue.
As for the car....I hope you accept criticism well and I'll be nice.
Those wheels are too small but can look better if you lower the car. Tire shine will help too. The smallest I would do is 19.

Ya I know about the size that is just a winter set up, stock size rims and tires(all season). I just needed to get those pie plates and run flats off before winter hit. I just got the car a couple months ago and when spring rolls around I will start looking for a different set up.
