I believe he means the wheels are not hubcentric and you have to use center rings.

It's weird how I got different answers from 2 vendors. For those who have the wheels, could you let me know? Thanks.

Paul....wheels are either hub or lug centric. The centering of the wheel is done either by the lugs or by the hub....hence the terms!

hub centric means that the wheel are center by the hub. if you take your wheels out you will see that the hub comes out a bit, where the rim rests on

lug centric means that you need to "center" the wheel using the lug nuts, tighten them to push/pull the wheels to be centered

in most cases the lug centric wheels will have slight vibrations at speed. nothing wrong, just the characteristics. my old volks were lug centric, had that little vibration at 60mph. my new hre, no problem at all.

i am not sure if iforged are hub or lug centric though. would be pretty surprising if they are not hub centric coz' you are customizing a wheel already
