volks te37 question

i bought some volks te37 16x7 42mm offset and notice that there is space in between the hub and the rim, did anyone else using these rims need hubcentric rims and if so what size? or do you recommend them at all? i do feel a bit of vibration but ofcourse less potholes then the damn runflats =)

just measure the outer diameter and consult with Alex at TR. he probably
has the rings.

the vibration could be from imbalance. i found that the lighter the
wheels, the harder it is to balance.

What Kenchan said. Alex at TireRack will help you out, just tell him the wheels you have and he should have them. I'll be ordering a set for my SSR's this week. I highly recommend you get the wheels/tires road force balanced on a Hunter machine. I'll be doing this as well in the upcoming weeks.

Tire Rack won't sell you rings unless you bought from them. They do now sell Volk TE37, so I'd hope they'd be willing to help but last time I tried to order, they wouldn't.

I spoke to Alex a couple weeks ago regarding hubcentric rings and I could've purchased at the moment but didn't feel like it. (I didn't buy the wheels from them)
