Default Hub Centric Ring not for OEM wheel? Help please....

Hi, i have a set of 18" 350Z 35th Anniversary wheel on my 01 GS3 , and i got vibriation problems. I heard some peoples put hub centric rings on their G35 wheels to fix this problem, so i placed a order on 1010tires.com for a set of alumium hub centric rings. But i just got a reply from 1010tires.com today and said hub centric ring is not for OEM wheels. heres the email, please give me some advise:

You recently placed an order with us for some hub centric rings, but there is a problem with the order. You left a note stating that these are for some OEM rims. Hub centric rings are designed for use with after market rims. After market wheels have a special "seat" machined into them for the hub ring to sit into. OEM wheels do not have this seat, so even if you get the size correct, they may not fit properly. If the rings do not sit flush, then the wheel may actually not sit flush on the hub of the vehicle and this will cause more vibration rather then less. As noted on our web site, we do not allow returns or exchanges on hub centric rings, so if you decide to proceed and they do not fit, you are stuck with them. Please reply to this E-mail and let us know if you want to proceed or if you prefer to cancel the order.
