Default Wheel Center Ring -Which Way?

Hi,

I just realized that I might need to install the Wheel center ring to keep the shudder down..

I took a pic of the ring came with the wheel.. Please help me to figure out which way to attach this thing.. On one side, there is a curve.... does the curve face out or face the hub?

Thankds

Talking Forgot to answer the original question

The beveled side (facing up in the picture) goes TOWARD the car. The flat side goes toward the wheel. The bevel is there to help center the wheel on the hub. Those OZ rings (with the O-ring) must be installed on the wheel before installing it on the car.

Hey Will,

Yeah.. I did received them.. but with my limited knowledge of wheel, they are in the drawal.. lying arround... I installed them last night.. they resolved my problem of shudder arround 50-60 mph.

Wheel Experts,

They are MODA wheel.. also known as Radius Technology of Italy.

I am looking for a MODA R6 deep dish for my wheel.. 18X10. I know that gs4will had a set or two before.. but not any more. Tirerack does not carry that size.. Maybe you can help me import 2 for my rear..

Thanks

Here is there website:
