What is this?
I put my summer wheels on yesterday and had to reassemble one wheel, because I had a bend taken out of it. There was a green ring in the bag of parts...

...that 2 of my other wheels had located here....

...meaning that all said and done, 3 wheels had the rings and one didn't. My gut tells me that it is a hubcentric ring, but I'm not sure. If anyone can help me out, tell me what it is, where to get it, do I really need it, etc, that would be great. And a summer teaser pic, girlfriends car in front, mine, then my dad's A6. TIA

Measure the outside diameter of the rings and if it's 73mm, then these will work....

I was looking at the pictures thinking "man, that looks a lot like the hubcentric ring on my RE's"
then I saw the next one and thought "man, that looks a lot like the inside of my RE's." Then I saw your list pic and realized they WERE Oettinger RE's. 
As everyone is saying, hubcentric rings, you need 'em, go get 'em.
