You need spigott rings then from the sounds of things?
they go into the centre of the alloys to stop vibrations
i fitted mine today and my spigott rings required alot of modification!
what TSWs you got?

well to be honest no, but they are recommended..
the mechanic i know refused to fit my alloys unless i had spigott rings
as it stops the vibrations which can cause damage to the car after a while.
