Hub Centric Rings

Hub Centric Rings
Found the last little wobble in steering today. Took truck into an alignment shop that trues tires, thought maybe that maybe the tires were alittle out of round. Come to find out the billet spacers I had installed are the culprit. Not being hub centric rather lug centric allows it to be ever so slightly off center.
Trying to find some hub centric rings for them now seems almost impossible. Going to have MRW build some steelies with 3.5" offset to run without the spacers but thats gonna take awhile.
Anyone know where I can find these rings until new wheels can be made?

I have been running these for 2 years and no issues.
We manufacture the best BORA Wheel Spacers money can buy | Motorsport Tech
I think I went with 1 1/4" which is basically 30mm. $100 a pair, but depends on how thick you want them.

I bought the cheap ebay ones $80 a pair. Im sure thats got alot to do with it. Live and learn. It's def. the spacers. They tried the method putting them on with 3 nuts only slightly tightened to get them as centered as possible and it did make a difference. Very little wobble now.
Im not going to sweat it cause like I said Im going steel. I would like to find the correct rings though to use until the other wheels are ready. Id hate to ruin the tires until they are ready. I have researched this topic ALOT and there is just as many guys who have had this problem as there is that havent. Especially see this when guys have changed to aftermarket wheels that are lug centric so if I find the rings I may end up using them on the new wheels as well.
Finding the info I need is a bitch. So far I have found the vehicle bore size to be listed as 124(I assume thats mm) but I can not find what the wheel bore size for the stock alloy wheel. The 124 doesnt sound right though since most of the ring sizes I have seen are in the 60-75 mm range. Most of the info I have seen is listed only for 99>.

I'm pretty sure that the DI factory spare's were also hub centric. But it's been about 4 years since I've owned one of those so I'm not positive.
