08 hubcentric ring question

i know i know... yet another wheel thread.

I need to order hubcentric wheel rings and don't know what size i need. Is the Hub for an 08 MCS 56.1mm as well? All the posts i see were for 06's and i just wanted to make sure.

Ive also included a realistic rendition of a wheel for help explaining my next question. On my aftermarket wheels do i measure the INSIDE edge of the bevel (red line) or the OUTSIDE edge of the bevel (black line) to figure out which rings i need?



ps. my wife says these wheels (see pic) will never balance... i don't know what she means!?! hahahaha

Hub is still 56.1mm

Often times stamped on the wheel someplace is the hub diameter. Might want to look for that on your wheels. Also check with the manufacturer.

Measure from the red ring.

Spdu4ia:

I would look for the hub bore size on the back of your wheels so you can order the correct outer diameter on the center rings. We carry plastic ones for $20 + shipping or aluminuim ones for $25 + shipping. They also come free of charge with full wheel set order.
