wheel fit help!

So I bought a set of BBS CH's from an Audi, they have a 50mm offset and they do not fit over the center hub, they look like they have a hubcentric ring inside them, it looks like it is a seperate part of the wheel but it doesnt remove with light force, any ideas on removal or I am way off and this is part of the wheel from BBS, if so how do I get around this problem?spacers with a built in rings? If so what size do I need, I don't want the wheels to stick out too much.


Thank you,
Sean

If the wheel does have center rings, pop out the center cap first. From there you should be able to pop the ring out from the front of the wheel using a screwdriver and a mallet. Regarding fitment, you will need to leave more information. Is it a staggered fitment? How wide are the wheels? Exactly which Audi chassis and model year did these wheels come off of?
