Default Question about switching wheels and lug nuts

I bought a set of 17' stock S4 wheels for my winter wheels/tires. I hvae 18' HP design wheels on there now with hubcentric rings. The lugs on the 18s are a weird size and use a 14mm allen tool that I have to get then off. My question is should I leave the hubcentric rings on with the S4 wheels or should I remove them? Also will these lug nuts work that I currently have on my 18s with the S4 wheels or do i need to buy new lug nuts?

Any help appreciated, Thanks

well there is only one way to find out..... take them off and try them out, buti would say...... you would need to take the rings off and get new lugs....... also when i put mine on, i have to use a socket to get them off and on as my fingers are too fat to fit into the tight space alotted for the lugs.... hope this helps

You only need hubcentric rings if you're using wheels that have a different center bore than stock. S4 wheels should be the same bore as A4 wheels.
