Default Hub Centric Adapter HELP

I'm planning on putting my rims on the car pretty soon now because its getting warmer and they are just sitting home taking up space. I need Hub Centric adapter i guess because the hole on the rim is bigger than the space on the car. I dont really know much about those so could someone please help me out and explain what are they and what they look like and where i can get them. Thanks

Measure the inside of the wheel - the bore

Your audi hub is 57.1mm and you need to fill the gap

I have an extra set (I think, will need to search) of 73mm rings. Discount Tire Direct sent me the wrong one's since the wheels I got had a 66mm bore. You just pay shipping if that's the size you need.

it's nice to have rings but you don't really need them. i've ran my wheels without rings and i make sure i install them correctly. i'm planning to run them without rings this year too. if you want them, visit like a local store that sells aftermarket wheels, i know a place in binghamton where i can get any size rings i need.
