Just checked the exif. d600. no wonder they turned out so nice!

but 45.4MB for a jpg, that's crazy. Hope you're using at least a 32GB card for that thing

I'll be joining soon, just gotta paint my style 5s & find some hub centric rings

Hubcentric rings aren't necessary, they just make the wheel easier to mount

He's absolutely right. The clamping force of the lug hardware holding the wheel face to the hub is all that's needed to keep the wheels centered. I had my Apexs mounted to the rear hubs with 10mm spacers that left no measurable length of the centerbore going into the wheel hub, and my wheels were perfectly centered. Not a single vibration or anything, tested up to 90 mph. Same with my current wheels.

You will get people trying to tell you that the hubcentric rings are intended to take the load off of the lug hardware and onto the hub center. If this were true, hubcentric rings made of plastic would be less than useless. The entire weight of your car is NOT resting on the lug hardware. Their intention is to fill in the extra space around the hub and the centerbore to ensure that when you bolt up your wheels, they are in the perfect position.
