OK, I have had these wheels for almost 3 months and have about 25 miles on them. I can't get the front wheels to work right. I ordered some billet hub rings and thought that would fix me up.....wrong! Well, now I know what the problem is. The center bore on the wheel goes about 3/8 in deep and then begins to taper to a smaller diameter. The sleeve(don't know what to call it) that the center of the wheel mounts, is about 5/8 in long, so when wheel is mounted, there is about a 1/4 in space between the wheel and rotor face. So any ideas? I have thought of a few solutions: 1 have the center of the wheel bored out. 2 Put a spacer between wheel and rotor. 3 Sell the wheels.
Any help would be greatly appreicated.
Charlie

Ask Rolencode GTO or alphaqGTO. They have these currently installed, so they may know what your issue is. Mine are still currently stacked up, and not on my car, so I cannot address your issue. :(

If you feel froggy and think you can do it, a dremel might work nicely, if not take them to a reputable wheel shop and have them address the issue. If you live in an area similar to mine, you would not want a sole touching them anywhere.

Good luck.

Hey did Axis take care of your issue. Hope there rolling right when you get the back.

I am sending the wheels back to have the center bored out. They told me that a few of the wheels were made to BMW specs, which was a 10mm depth of the center bore. Well, our cars need a 15mm depth.
I have the wheels ready to be picked up by shipper. Hopefully this saga will end in a couple of weeks when I get them back.

I know this is an old post, but I wanted to bump since I had the same issue. I just threw 5mm spacers in the front. Fixed the issue. Again, I am bumping for anyone else who has a similar issue.

At least you searched. Yep, same problem here. Had to have the centers bored out but now I can't get the center caps on the rears.

I couldn't get the center caps on my rear wheels, either. I ended up cutting off the tabs and glued them on.
