Center Bore Size of BBS RX

Just bought a set of 16x7 bbs rx and was wondering if anybody knows what the bore size is? I currently have hubcentric rings for my Team Dynamic rims which I think is a 73mm bore size and I'm just wondering if I need to get a new set. Thank all.

go to a tire shop and use a caliper to measure it

Most BBS are 82mm ID CB.

Alright so I got the wheels, but they seem to already have a hubcentric ring built in. I tried pulling them out gently but it didn't come out. Are these supposed to be there?

Thats a ring wheel, you can see it resting in the bore, a seperate piece.

Hit it with PB blaster, knock out the center cap. You can tap the ring out from the front side with a drift, or a screwdriver and a hammer. Just light taps.
