I'll say what I've always said about Mike and his build...
He may not be the most knowledgeable guy around, or have the cleanest, fastest, or nicest VR-4. But I've seen him make progress over the years, which is more than I can say for a lot of people here. Regardless of how it's getting there, his car is steadily improving over time. I think some of the people posting negative feedback here should start some build threads of their own, instead of throwing stones. Of course, I've always had a soft spot for Mike's clown ass, so I suppose I'm biased.
Mike, on the topic of the hub-centric rings, it sounds like you need to pull the wheels and do some measuring. If the center bore of the hub is not sized perfectly to the wheel's center bore, you're putting extra stress on the lug studs. Not to mention, the wheel will never sit perfectly center. The center bore for the hub is 67.1mm. You will probably need hub-centric rings to match the wheel center bore to that of the hub. For example, I needed hub-centric Rings with an OD of 73.1 mm and ID of 67.1 mm with my Work wheels. I'm assuming you're going to be in about the same situation. Pull the wheels, and measure the center bores.
