Question! Is there any wheel that.....

Are there any wheels out there that come "hub centric" to our civics? It seems like every set of wheels I have owned I have to have centric rings and I could never get them ballanced right. Even 15x6.5 had vibration right around 60 mph after numerous ballance jobs. The only ones I don't have trouble with are the OEM Si wheels because they are made to fit the hub....Any tips of aftermarket wheels that "fit" the hub? Thanks in advance

Hmmm.. I have 18x7.5 Motegi FF7s on my '01 and once they were balanced I experienced no vibration.

I've got Enkei OR52 with no hub centric rings and they are fine. No vibrations.

I used to roll on a set of 18's. Axis Reverbs, and I never had a problem with that.

So if you were to put your wheel on with no tire..persay...There would be no wiggle room on the hub? fitting perfect?

Probably, I have no idea, I've never done that before without a tire on it.

Basically I'm looking for something hub centric without using centric rings
