that's awsome derrick, i think it's great that iforged offers hub centric fitment. it makes a lot of sense when they basically custom make every set of wheels 
though this thread has to go to the tires forum. there are more exposure there anyway

It is not a problem, honestly I have to thank you for asking the question. As I previously stated, the issue had yet to come up (even during the GB), so I never even asked previously!

The inner looks like it would be close enough (.04mm). You just need to make sure the outer is the size of the opening in the back of your wheel.

The only REAL use of the hubcentric ring is to accomodate for people-and mostly shops- that rush their wheel installs, and don't take the proper torquing procedures of bolting down the lug nuts in a cross pattern, and in steps. When you just tighten the lug nuts one at a time, in a non-cross pattern, you essentially tighten the wheels on unevenly, and the wheels end up going on a little off-center. Hubcentric rings prevent this from happening by centering the wheels before you even tighten the lug nuts... but they are not really necessary. People have been having no problems for decades before the advent of the hubentric rings... and usually, when you're running an expensive aftermarket wheel, you already should be torquing down the wheels correctly anyway. So whether you run with or w/o rings, just make sure you torque your lug nuts in a cross pattern, and in several steps before the final torque down (doing this assures the conical section of the lug nuts do the job of centering the wheel), and you will be safe. Oh yah, and you will also want to torque the wheels in the air. Once you let it sit on the ground and place weight on the wheels, they will shift slightly...

If/when I get wheels, I don't think I'll fork out the extra $190. I mean, if I ever want to sell them a few years (or months for some CL member) later, wouldn't I have a harder time selling them? What if an interested buyer has a car that needs a LARGER center bore?

Only 1 set since this thread, the extra build time and cost have outweighed the need I guess.
