Any thoughts?

what he's talking about is a wheel centering ring....not sure you really need it. It fits in the center hole of the wheel and mounts the wheel perfectly centered. Not sure they actually make these for Jeeps, we used to need them on our sport compact cars!

Hope this helps!

Yeah, that is probably what he is thinking and they are a lug centric wheel that doesn't need them.

Yea, I agree fellas. He's an idiot. He's talking about something that adapts the wheel for use to a vehicle or it would wobble otherwise (which sounds like hub centric rings to me). I should have just made him mount the f'n wheel and tire. What a headache.
