Do I need hub centric rings?
The wheels are Works VS-XX 5x114.3
19 x 8.5 all around +42 offset
245/40/19 PS2's tires
I am assuming since I got the correct PCD and fitment (no rubbing) along with bolts from Work itself, I wont need the hub centric rings right?

Techinally you don't NEED hubcentric rings but you really should get them when ever possible that way there's no vabrations over 60mph and you want to keep your center of gravity of that rotational mass balanced at the hub not at your lug nuts. Did you have the wheels custom made? If not you can google that particular brand of work wheels to find out what the centerbore on them are to find out which hubcentric rings you need. They cost less than 15 dollars for a set of 4...can't go wrong
They are small rings that fill the space between the larger hole on the wheel and the hub on the G (which is 66.1mm).
Do a quick search on google and you will get lots of pics.

work is 73.1mm
since I live in the Middle east, getting aftermarket rings shipped take a long time.
I just got a local contact who will fabricate aluminum ones. Will run rings on all 4 wheels.

Get the plastic ones.
The drum or rotor snout is made of cast iron, so when a raw aluminum ring is placed directly against it and even a small amount of moisture gets in, corrosion occurs almost immediately, making it very difficult to get the wheel off the car.
Unless you plan on anodizing the ring after it's made.

The ring looks like plastic but it's not actually plastic look on eBay that's where I got mines from they describe the material used to make the ring. I think you should go with the plastic ones they are designed to handle the heat, friction and evironmental extremes better than the metal...honestly I haven't seen any metallic rings for sale.
