Default Purchased Wheels - Need input

I ordered a set of Method NV's 18x9 +18 from Custom Offsets. I also ordered a set of hub centric rings. They came back and said the rings are not in stock and offered a refund. I accepted. Now I'm shopping for rings 94mmOD - 87mm ID and cannot find any. I called Method and they said you can't use rings on the NV's because it's a push through center cap.

Call it preference or whatever you want but I don't like the fact the lugs are supporting the weight of the wheels opposed to the hub. Now, do I cancel the order and find something else or just go with it?

Can you run the ring if you don't use the ugly center cap?

That is a concern as well.

I went through a similar dilemma when wheel shopping. I ended up going with wheels that are hub-centric.

I just canceled the order. If I hadn't had to go to a hub centric ring in the past due to vibrations I don't know that I'd be too concerned about it, but not having the option is a deal killer for me.

It's going to work out okay though because I've been 'window shopping' gear install costs and got a quote today from a local offroad shop that was recommended to me that I'm going to go with. Wheels will come later. 4.10's are going to happen now.

I would send them back and get wheels with the right hub bore. Rhino and XD come to mind.
