Spare hub centric rings in DC area?

I just got my new Rota Subzeros and Falken 512's to replace the S-lites that I destroyed in my mishap with the hidden traffic island. Unfortunately, they didn't send me the hubcentric rings. I have to get the car out of the repair shop on Tuesday to keep the insurance company off my back and I would rather use the rings if I could find a set. The hubs on the new rims are 67mm. I don't suppose anyone in the area has a set just laying around their garage that I could purchase?

You can drive the car without the hubcentric rings. Just take your time and tighten each lugnut a little at a time in a cross pattern until you are certain the wheel is properly centered on the hub. Then torque to spec (88 lb/ft)

Go ahead and get some ordered and installed, but short term you'll be okay without them.

you can try to call tire rack to have them shipped or locally try Radial Tire 301-585-2740. I do not know if they (Radial Tire) will have them in stock but they may be able to help you.
