Don't wheel places usually supply them?

If not, I think just about any shop that sells wheels can get them for you, if they know what size you need.

Call Discount Tire Direct www.discounttiredirect.com or Tirerack www.tirerack.com and ask what size you need.

I called tire rack, they only deal w/ their rims. Also Dicount tire direct doesnt have a number, just email address. Anyone w/ a 2001-03 GLS can help me out here =)

The hub is 67.1mm in diameter.

The centrebore of the wheels you bought is probably bigger... most aftermarket wheels are made with the same size centrebore (one that is bigger than any car), and hubcentric rings of various sizes are available to allow aftermarket wheels to be fitted to just about any car on the road.
If wheelmax can't tell you if you need them or not, then do they know what they're talking about?
If the wheels arrive without the rings, go to (insert name of reputable wheel/speed shop here) and ask for 67.1mm/2.64 inch hubcentric rings or the closest thing to that number (and by close I mean like .1 mm or .01 inch or something like that. They have to be an exact fit.

I know Hyundai is one of few car companies to use a 67.1 mm centrebore. Most other cars use a smaller bore, so it's possible the wheels will fit right without them if 67.1mm happens to be that magic default centrebore size that aftermarket wheels are machined with.

www.tires.com

Tell them what brand/size tires you bought, and what make/model car you have.

They will sell you a set of adapters for $10.

Thanx guys....I went to a rim shop nearby and they had them. paid 20 bux for them. I'd rather pay 20 bux now and be able to put the rims on when I get them rather than bay 8 bux(which is what tires.com quoted me) and get the rims on monday and not be able to put em on because i dont have the hub rings. But you guys have an AWESOME help. I'll post pics on here when I get the rims put on. Thanx again
