I understand the rings don't carry the load, they are there just to center as you stated. I thought they come with every aftermarket wheel (because the bore is larger than stock), guess that's not the case. Said it was a special order or something, but again explicitly said my application does...
Well, I got the drop (Stellar) and wheels/tires put on Friday. Got the Ammdo's / V12's (stiiiiiiiiiiccccky tires)
Curious about mounting aftermarket - I went through Discount T and was watching them mount etc...I went and asked the tech while he was working that I thought there needed to be...

Killer ride JT. I LOVE vettes.
A bit OT - my pops has a '10 C6 - he's had a vette since the late 80's, every few yrs gets a different model etc...now enjoying his retirement. He's been in the same vette club for a long time and they do cross country tours - not so much anymore as they're...
