I would have to say no because we supply lugs with the wheels when we sell them. If they used the factory lugs we would not supply new ones. I have the lugs and centering rings available. If I can help let me know.

The whole "are the centering rings necessary" debate has been going on for years. If they are indeed "needed" they are needed for the fronts more than the rears. Science of Speed sells pink anodized rings that actually fit. I ordered multiple pairs of the plastic rings from Tirerack awhile ago and the fronts don't fit. The SOS ones are cheap enough and the anodized process helps to prevent them from getting rusted to the hubs.

And, yes - you do need to use aftermarket lug nuts. The oem ones will not work with these rims. At least not for long.

the oem lugs are acorn shaped and the volk lugs have a flat edge. if you use the wrong shape it will damage the wheel and eventually loosen.

FWIW

I ordered 2 sets of centering rings from Jim @ TireRack a couple of weeks ago for a friend and myself. RE30 and CE28N. They fit both the front and back wheels correctly. Jim was helpful and professional and they arrived quickly.

Also you do need after market lugs.

Is there a link for these hub centric rings from SOS? Can't seem to find it.

They're listed under the NSX and not the S2000 for some reason.
