Hub centric ring question

I just measured my works vs-xx and the bore came out to be 72.23125 mm or 2.84375 inches. Would I need hub centric rings to cancel out potential vibrations or am I fine without them? I think BMWs are 72.5/6mm if I'm not wrong..

If needed, that would not be much of a ring. Do they even make such a small size?

Unless I'm reading this wrong, your wheel bore is smaller than the hub. Thus you need to make it bigger; a ring would make it smaller than 72.23mm.

Hmm, it might just be that my measurement is a bit off. I guess the only way to see if it fits is to try it on

It's probably hub centric, and your measuremnt was a bit off.

Those wheels are hub centric and you do not need any kind of aftermarket rings.
