Default Intro Forged or DTM Kreuz owners or anyone with knowledge of this question...

Yesterday I received a box of parts for my new DTM Kreuz wheels (which should arrive today). They included all the lug nuts and a plastic bag with these circular rings or discs made of some high impact plastic. On the bag is written bore size for front and rear. What are these small hollow discs for? I assume you lay them inside the hub of the wheel before putting them on the car.

I'll call DTM Autohaus and ask them personally but maybe someone here can chime in to get a post or two added to their record.

Thanks,

GigaEnvy

I kind of figured that since a circle is a circle and there is only one place to put it

Default You S4 owners got Hubcentric rings AND lugs? WTF???

I got only wheels and valve stems. Vince is sending me now the hubcentric rings(I hope) because my steering wheel shakes like a **** above 60mph. I check my alignment and hweel balance today and everything is good. I also had to order a set of lug nuts on my own.

But the wheels look great.

Default Hmmmm, my DTM wheels just left back to Cali, shook the car like nobodys biz

balanced and mounted two times . DTM said send them back , there were no hub centric rings and nobody mentioned their abscence as the possible problem.

Default Thats probably the issue here. I was under the impression that they were hubcentric

if I know that they were not, I would have demanded to have these wheels hubcentric or provide hubcentric wheels like tire rack does with all of its wheels. So hopefully Vince, will send me a set ASAP. But I do have to say the Vince (Cyan S4)is really trying hard to make things right.

So some wheels are built to spec and some require hubcentric rings?
