Help with my new wheels: They didn't ship them with all the correct hubcentric rings, can I...
drive without them for a few days until I get the correct ones put on?
Or do I have to wait until I get the rings, and just continue to roll on my stock 16"s?
Can it really be all that bad, if the shop does their best to mount them as straight as possible, can I really "F" anything up too bad? I don't know if I can wait until next week to roll on the new wheels! Well, at least the suspension will be done, I hope. :-(
Anyone else ever encounter this problem on their A4?

expect unbalanced wheels, this is just like using a really thick wheel spacer......
remember, we have lug bolts and a floating rotor on all 4 corners, its VERY EASY to cross thread one or more threads in the Audi rotor, ALSO, the threads dont start for 10 mm into the hole. if you do this (because I wouldnt be able to wait either!!!) and you happen to strip or xthread a hole, its a 19 x 150 metric tap-die. I know. It sucked.....and swallowed.
