16" rims help

Hi,
I found some Volk rims and REALLY Want to buy them coz they are sooo cheap!!
The only catch is they dont fit properly.
They are 16x7, 16x8 with a 35mm offset but thats not the problem. The big problem is the center hub centre hole is too big on the wheel. I think it came off a Skyline or something??!!. The diameter of the hub is about 1.5cms too big.
Is it safe to put those circular rings to close the gap so my hub center can fill the wheels hub hole with that added ring that the wheel/tyre guys will put in?
If doing this will sacrifice strength, then i wont do it, but if its ok, please let me know..
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Cheer

It doesnt matter does it ??? if the Hub isnt fluish with the centre of the wheel ?
its as long as the wheel fits snug on the studs right ?

Its cheap, Maybe $20 a side! I know someone that would do it for $20.
You dont want the rim just relying on the studs! The rim needs to supported by the hub centre!

Just get some collets machined up out of 6 series aluminium (keep unsprung mass down). It'll set you back no more than $50. Any quality machining shop shoud be able to do it for you.
