You should not have to use hub-centric rings. When I installed my 14" ARs, using the stock lug bolts, I got a lot of vibration. When I switched to aftermarket lug bolts it went completely away. The reason is that the stock lug bolts don't have enough depth on the conical part, that grabs the aftermarket aluminum wheel. They are only good for the stock steelies (or 13" Metro steelies too).

Thanks everyone for the comments! It is also really good to see that half that people that replied are from the MO! That explains why I can't find any parts lol! I have been looking at some of the rims that you can swap on and I was wondering if anybody has seen any NICE chrome rims that are on like a mazda stock that I could pick up a a junk yard?:festiva::newb::festiva:Comment

Yeah, the issue seems to be how the wheel is made. If the conical area at the lug hole is shallow, the stock lug bolts will work; if deep, you need to go aftermarket.90 Festy (Larry)--B6M (Matt D. modified B6 head), header, 5-speed, Capri XR2 front brakes, many other little mods

This is my first post, but I've also been doing some wheel reserch.... I've found that older Toyota wheels are the right bolt pattern, and the offset is within 3 mm. I prefer the black steel wheels, but any stock toyota alloy should fit as well.... Just an idea: Discount Tire sells a steel "Unique Series 83" wheel 14 X 5.5, or 14 X 114.3, with a 35 mm offset for $55.00 apiece brand new. You could put aftermarket baby-moons, or spinners on them, and probably get away with stock lug bolts.Comment

Welcome Dustin!
Most Toyota 4 X 100mm four bolt wheels should have the correct centerbore as well. Not sure about the 4 X 114.3 ones.
